Enfin Arras est secouru by François de Chancy — Lyrics
Enfin Arras est secouru,
Est secouru malgré les forces estrangeres,
Les Espaguols ont disparu,
Aux yeux de nos troupes guerrieres:
Buvons, buvons à la santé du Roy,
Remply de bonheur et de gloire,
Qui porte en tous lieux la victoire,
La paix, la terreur, et l'effroy,
Buvons à la sanfroy.
Ces jaquemars tous terrassez
Et par devant & par derriere;
N'ont eslevé tant de fossez
Que pour faire leur cimetiere. Buvons . . .
Turenne fait des actions
A nostre France tresutiles;
Son bras abat des fierslyons,
Et son esprit sauve des villes. Buvons . . .
Les Hocquincours, & les GrandPrez,
Ont fait mile combats insignes:
