He hir’d a fine house, The Theatine,

Which stands upon the banks of Seine,

A river does through Paris run,

Ev’n as the Thames does through London.

His nobles all commissions got,

And form’d new reg’ments, Did they not,

The Scots, English, and Irish too,

Fought well at Vall, and stood full true?

The British troops they did not spare,

Which was not altogether fair,
