by John Blow . A Catch for Three voices , in E minor

Text:

Come here’s a good health to Prince Lewis the brave,
the Prince that has buried the Turks in the Save,
for drinkers of water a suitable grave,
both the old and new Turk are here overthrown,
now my jolly comrades have at the fair town,
with our bombs of old hock will we batter it down,
the Danube’s our slave once again,
a greater than Xerxes has thrown in his chain,
the the Heidelberg Tun shall close the campaign.
