When Europe freed, confess'd the saving pow'r
Of MARLB'ROUGH'S hand; Britain who sent him forth
Chief of confed'rate hosts, to fight the cause
Of Liberty and Justice, grateful rais'd
This palace sacred to her Leader's fame;
A trophy of success; with spoils adorn'd
Of conquer'd towns, and glorying in the name
Of that auspicious field, where CHURCHILL'S sword
Vanquish'd the might of Gallia, and chastis'd
Rebel Bavar. — Majestick in its strength
Stands the proud dome, and speaks its great design.
