Like Fate shall all the treach'rous Lineage end,
If prudent Frogs my timely Counsel take,
Rang'd on the Bank their Onset to attend,
Where the steep Brow hangs bending o'er the Lake.
275 His adverse Mouse each by the Helmet seize,
And suddain grapling cast him headlong down,
Safe will we leap the wonted Precipice
At once, and diving deep their Army drown
Oppress'd with weighty Mail, to swim unskill'd:
280 So shall we win with ease an uncontested Field.

Laden with Spoils, victorious will we raise
A glorious Trophy for a Nation slain.
