Now rings the Region with the Foe's Alarms,
Terrific shines the Field with burnish'd Arms;
The Martial Trumpet, sounding from afar,
With dreadful Notes, proclaims approaching War.
The Royal Army valiant FELIX join'd;
Intrepid Courage animates his Mind:
Fix'd in the Front, the Foe he bravely dares,
Like PALLAS prudent, and as bold as MARS.
Say, Muse, What Goddess, that tremendous Hour,
Aided the Youth with such unusual Pow'r?
Bright VENUS, conscious of the Lover's Smart,
Sharpen'd his Sword, and pointed ev'ry Dart:
Fierce, as a Lion, thro' the Lines he sprung;
And forc'd his Foes, like trembling Stags, along.
