See where his virtues still his life expose,

And smile defiance to surrounding foes.

The intriguing Saxon see him there[74] surprise;

Here from his arms the Imperial Eagle[75] flies;

Tho’ fortune frowns,[76] unknowing how to yield,

He drives, by proxy,[77] Russia from the field.

Now, farther prest, behold him still advance,

And pour destruction on the troops[78] of France;

Before his glitt’ring arms the Swedes retire,

And mourn pale Envy’s unfulfilled desire.
