On the Taking of Namur, 1692

THE town which Louis bought, Nassau reclaims,
And brings instead of bribes avenging flames.
Now Louis take thy titles from Above,
Boileau shall sing, and we'll believe thee Jove.
Jove gained his mistress with alluring gold,
But Jove like Thee was impotent and old :
Active and young he did like William stand,
And stunn'd the Dame, his Thunder in his Hand.
