English poem
The Comparison Between John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, and Charles Churchill, Anti-caledonian
by Anonymous
In Anna's wars immortal Churchill rose, And, great in arms, subdued Britannia's foes; A greater Churchill now commands our praise, And the Palm yields her empire to the Bays: Tho' John fought nobly at his army's head, And slew his thousands with the balls of lead; Yet must the Hero to the Bard submit, Who hurls, unmatch'd, the thunderbolts of wit.
