LEt England Rejoyce and all sorrows expell, Since there is no doubt but all things will be well, The Heavens has smil'd, and to add to our joy, Has sent to this languishing Nation a Boy: A Princely young Heir, of the Royal Pair, And of whose protection the Gods will take care; Now we have no reason to sigh and complain, A young Prince is Born, may he long live to Reign. On the tenth of June this sweet blessing was sent, To give the whole Nation true joy and content, What we had long p[r]ay'd for was sent on that day, True joys to encrease, and our griefs to allay:
On the loud Wings of fame, this glad tydings came, The Glory of Brittain aloud to proclaim, Let true loyal voices strike all in a strain, A young Prince is Born, may he long live to Reign. As soon as this tydings in London was heard, True joy in the face of each Subject appear'd, The thundering Cannons aloud they did roar, To send the Glad Tydings on every shore: All tongues did express, then their true thankfulness, Their joy was so great that they could do no less, Then with loyal voices rejoyce all amain, A young Prince is Born, may he long live to Reign.
BOth Lords, Dukes and Earles, & the commons also, In e'ry degree did their Loyalty show, Their hearts was transported with so much delight, That from that blest Morning till late in the Night The Bells loudly Ring, and swift Fame was one wing And all loyal Subjects did merrily sing, Let Happiness flourish, give Sorrow her Bane, A young Prince is Born, may he long live to Reign. Through City and Subburbs this joy did abound, And Loyal brisk Glasses went merrily round, Not one in ten thousand in Loyalty fails, But drank a good health to the young Prince of Wales: With this happy Pray'r, that kind Heavens good care Would nourish, and cherish, our young Princely Heir; In these very words they rejoyced amain, A young Prince is Born, may he long live to Reign. This Blessing and Triumph the more to compleat, All Loyal true Subjects in every street Made Fires, which like blazing Comets did shine, And Tab[l]es was filled with Bottles of Wine: Both rich Men and mean, was in Loyalty seen, All prayed for Royal King JAMES and his Queen, And in the conclusion they cry'd out amain, A young Prince, etc. We do by our Ancestors well understand, Some notable signs did Allarum the Land, Predicting some manifold favours from Heaven, But now unexpected, this blessing is given, By which we may see, our felicity Does happen, tho' late, the compleater to be, Then rejoyce Town and City, yea, Shepherd & Swain A young Prince, etc. Then throw up your Caps and rejoyce e'ry one, Since we have a Prince to inherit the Throne; A Prince without doubt, for great actions design'd, To Valour, to Justice, and Goodness inclin'd: Then let us agree, for a Jubilee, That all the whole world may our gratitude see, This blessing from Heaven won't given in vain, A young Prince is Born, may he long live and Reign.
