Old Caspar's work was done
And he before his cottage doo,.
Was sitting in the sun,
Ana by him Sported on the green
Ills little grandchi!d Wilhcln,ine-
She saw her brother Peterkin
Roll something large and round,
That he beside the rivulet
In playing there had found,
She came to ask what he had found.
That was so large, and smooth, and
round.
Old Caspar took it from the boy
Who stood eXpectant by:
And then the old man Shook his head.
And with natural sigh,
lis some poor fellows skull, said he.
Who fell in the great Victory.
l find them in the garden, for
There's many here about,
And often when ] go TO plough,
The ploughshare turns them out :
For many Thousand men, said he,
Were slain in the great Victory.
Now tellus what twas all about,
Young Peterkin he cries,
And little Wilhelmine looks up,
With wonder waiting eyes
Now tell ms all about the war
And what they kill'd each other fors
1t was the English Caspar cried,
hat put the French to route
But what they killed each other for
l could not well make out.
But everybody said quoth he,
That twas famous victory.
My father lived at Blenheim then.
fon little stream hard by,
They burnt his dwelling to tho
ground,
And he was forced to fy;
So with wife and Child he fed.
Nor had he where to rest his head.
With fire and sword the countro.
round,
was wasted far and wide,
And many childing mother then.
And newborn INFANT died,
But things like that YOU know must be.
At every famous victory.
They say it was shocking siebt
Alter the field was won;
FOR many thousand bodies here
Lay rotting in the sun,
But things like that you no must be
After famous victory.
IreatPraise the duke ofM lbrn' won,
And our good prince Eugene
why twas a very wicked hing!
Said Little Wilheimine,
Nay-nay-my little girl, quoth he.
1t was famous Victory.
And every body praised the Duke.
Why such fight SAID win:
But what good came of it At last.
Quoth little Peterkin.
Why that l Cannot tell, sa d he.
