A Poem Upon the Late Glorious Successes of Her Majesty's Arms is a 1707 pamphlet poem by the British writer Nicholas Rowe, later poet laureate. It was composed as a panegyric to commemorate the campaigns of the British general the Duke of Marlborough during the War of the Spanish Succession. It was one of a group of celebratory works that came in the wake of Marlborough's victory at the Battle of Ramillies. Rowe's fellow writer Joseph Addison had produced The Campaign in similar style.
