http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Blenheim
Before my great-grandfather
had a great-grandfather
Men killed another
At Blenheim together
The Duke of Marlborough
Hoped victory would be thorough
Risking all on one blow
Against the French foe
Duc de Tallard's forces
Had greater resources
Thousands more men and horses
Lacking just tactical recourses
Battalions placed in error
Within Blenheim's town center
Could do little to counter
English soldiers turning snarer
The French army slain in its place
Tallard surrendered in disgrace
And as credit to the British race
Marlborough received Blehnheim Palace
