BRave English boys, now We'l make Papishes bow, And rid all their Jesuits hence; Then let the Bells ring, While we merrily sing, For to welcome the Protestant Prince. Let Bonefires burn, The Papists all turn, And their wooden Gods all be pul'd down let the Churches all flourish, The Gospel to nourish, With great Joy to the Princes Renown.
The Nation he'l clear From all trouble and fear, And drive all our Enemies hence; We'l stand by his side, To pull down their pride, For he is a brave Protestant Prince. When we were run down, And the Romans did frown, He had of our sorrows a sence, Preparing a Fleet, Our Joys to compleat, He is a brave Protestant Prin[ce.]
He came not to Reign, But our Rights to maintain, And has been at a vast expence, And Heaven does bless His hand with success, For he is a brave Protestant Prince. Then you Irishmen all, In Country and Town, Repent for the time that is past; May Tyrconnel be taken, And his Laws quite forsaken, And you Roguery be found out at last. But let me advise you The best way I can, As I stand near Related to you; Your old Coats for to turn, And your Altars to burn, And to hang up your Jesuite Crew. For your Downfal is come, And you shall receive Doom, For we Protestants now do advance; And our brave Prince and we Will unite and agree For to drive Lewis King out of France. His haughty high words Does but sharpen our Swords, We'l fight in our Nations defence; For we would not fear The Great Turk nor Monsieur, While we have a brave Protestant Prince. Let Shoomakers all Pack up Knives and Heel-Awl, To joyn to an universe sum; Let's charge, and let's prime, for we hope in Gods time For to give the deaths wound unto Rome.
But first let the glory And praise be to God, Who hath wrought such a miracle great; Their Delusions to spoil, And their plots all beguile, Then rejoice both in Church & in State. And now at the Instrument Of this great Work, Which the like was ner before nor since; Let's drink his Health round With our knees to the ground, For to welcome this Protestant Prince. And now to conclude This my Protestant song, Pray remember these Verses of mine; For Popery is pulled down Both in Country and Town. And the Gospel in splendour shall shine. With peace, mirth and plenty Our land will abound, And the Papists they all must go hence; For search the world round, There will scarcely be found Such another brave Protestant Prince. If any one questions Who made these few lines, Tis my self if I may you convince: Then let's merry be, And I'll drink unto thee A good Health to this protestant Prince. Then fill up the glass, About let it pass, All our sorrows in Wine we will drown Here is a good Health To that Common-wealth Whose Prince is come lately to Town.
