After which are Mountain-passes; Bohemian Forest: and the Event--?
"Cannot be dubious!" thinks France, whatever Maillebois think.
Witty Paris, loving its timely joke, calls him Army of Redemption,
"L'ARMEE DES MATHURINS,"--a kind of Priests, whose business is
commonly in Barbary, about Christian bondage:--how sprightly!
And yet the enthusiasm was great: young Princes of the Blood

The great Marlborough used to play such, and win; making the wide
