WElcome Princess to the Shore, We your Royal Aid implore, All our Blessings to restore, and do our Souls surrender; For we know that you would be In your Royal Dignity, Always to maintain us free, and prove our Faiths Defender. Vertuous, Wise in all her ways, And deserves the Nations praise, Who can e're her Glory raise, or to her worth commend her?
Who the Land may truly own, To be with her Prince alone, The true preservers of the Throne, and prove our Faiths Defender. We have had a Papist Queen, But [another] may be seen In Attire far more mean, yet none can discommend her; For we [find humility] In a [Royal] Dignity, Speaks her evermore to be the Ch[u]rch and Faiths Defender.
While she did from Holland Sail, Although with a pleasant Gale, Protestants did much bewail, that Boreas did her hinder; But they Heaven did implore, All their Blessings to restore, So this Princess soon came o're, the Church and Faiths Defender. She no sooner came to Land, But all Souls with heart and hand, Yielded to her just Command, their Fortunes to surrender: Knowing that her Royal Name, Will in lasting Books of Fame, To the world her self proclaim, the Church and Faiths Defender. She no sooner came to Shore, But Guns did like Thunder rore, To proclaim the News all o're, while Nobles did attend her; Lords and Ladies did repair, That they might with Christian care, Welcome in the Princess Dear, the Church and Faiths Defender. Cannons Rore, while Bells did Ring, While the joyful News did bring, That under her most Gracious Wing, no Pope our peace cou'd hinder: Therefore Royal Princess now, To the Scepter we will bow, You we must and will allow the Church and Faiths Defender. The Princess Health went fairly round, While London was with Glory Crown'd And while our Joys did thus abound, true Subjects did commend her: Tho' she was Modest, Mild and Mean, Behold her in her Glorious Sceene She's now Great-Brittains Royal Queen, [the] C[h]urch and [Faiths] Defender.
FINIS.
