Please to insert the following lines made upon reading the
King of France and Dauphin's letters (in your Post-boy) to
the Queen and Dauphiness, concerning the engagement at
Fontenoy.
  Proud France, why such excessive joy, 
  For vict'ry gain'd at Fontenoy?
  What can your heroes vainly boast:
  For Tournay many thousands cost;
  And Louisburg you've lately lost.
