TRiumph good Christians and reioyce , This wondrous newes to heare : Wherein the power of mightie Ioue , So greatly doth appeare . God is the stay and strength of those That in him puts his trust : And what he euer promiste them , He keepeth firme and iust . Let canons rore and Muskets shoote , Let Fife and Ensignes play : Let Trumpets shrill and dubbing drums , Sound forth this ioyfull day . Who knows not how the Duke de Maine , By title from the Gwize , Hath sought to rule 〈…〉 in Fraunce . All ioinde themselues in battaile ray . Vpon firme land in Fraunce , Entending to haue slaine the king , Yet had a worser chaunce . Let canons rore and Muskets shoote &c. Whereby the enemy was that time , Full thirtie thousand strong : The king his power was but weake , To right his open wrong . He had not past ten thousand men , In his defence to fighte , Which was great ods as all men knowes , To put all these to flight . Let canons rore 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 shoote &c. In valiaunt sorte he cheerd his men , And louingly he saide : God is with vs , our quarrels good , Be therefore not dismaide . My trust is still that as the Lord , Hath me before defended : So he will fighte against my foes , That haue my death pretended . Let canons rore and Muskets shoote &c. My quarrell doth pertaine to God . In whom I put my trust : And in the promise he hath made , I know he wil be iust . Be valiaunt now and fight like men , And God will bee your guide : And I with you will spend my blood , And not once step aside . Let canons rore and Muskets shoote &c. To ●ther then the Armies went , Which made a wondrous shoe : On ei●her side they fought full fierce , Ech sought the others woe . The Canons roard and Muskets shotte , And made a warlike noies : Their Trompets sound and dubbing drūs , Encreaste the souldiers ioies . Let canons rore and Muskets shoote &c. The Fife m●de warlike melody , The ensignes were displaied : Oh either side they curredge cride . The king was not dismaied . But like a Souldiour and a king , A standard he did take : And slew the man that bare the same , Which made his enemies quake . Let canons rore and Muskets shoote &c. The Duke de Maine for all his power . Was forste from field to flie : His heeles were better then his hands , He fought so valiauntly . His power was stricken with such feare , That they did flie in haste : Whereby the king did win the field , His enemies were disgraste . Let canons rore and Muskets shoote &c. He and his power did follow them , Full fiue howres in the chase : From eight at morne til toward night . He fought in the enemies face . This victory he did obtaine , Such was his good succes , And many thousand enimies slaine , Report saieth sure no les . Let canons rore and Muskets shoote &c. What tents and furniture for warre , What treasure and iewels rich : Hereby the king and soldiours got , You may suppose was miche . And prisoners taken of account , As you shal : shortly heere , Who for their reason to their king , I thinke will pay full deere . Let canons rore and Muskets shoote &c. See here the handy worke of God , Who harmles saude the king . And sent him treasure in great store , And euery warlike thing .
