SWeet Princess the Nations delight, and joy of each Protestant Soul, Whose Highness we here do invite, the Romans shall never controul: We all are united in love, then hasten soon over the Sea: [You]'re ordain'd by the Powers abov: [the Glory of Britain to be.]
The Tower great Canons shall rore, the Bells shall as merrily ring; To welcome her Highness on shore, who Heavenly Blessings does bring. Long may she prosper and Reign, and keep from her Enemies free, And hasten now over the Main, the glory of Britain to be.
All Noble great Persons of Fame, rejoice at this royal good day, Wherein they[']r resolved to maintain our Rights, Rome's rage to allay: A Protestant plac'd in the Throne and by the high Heavens decree, Her Highness all people do own the glory of Britain to be. Sweet Neptune the god of the Seas, afford her a sweet pleasant gale, That may not her Highness displease, while she is in barque under Sail; And bring her here safe to the Town, attended with Nobility; As being of royal renown, the Glory of Britain to be. The Protestants now in all parts they hope for a prosperous Reign: And with a true consort of hearts they sweetly strike all in a strain: Long, long let her live to enjoy the heighth of her great Dignity; And Popery clearly destroy: the glory of Britain to be.
We would root out the Reliques of Rome that may now grieve us again, Let banishment now be their doom, and every Soul say Amen: Her Highness we do understand is coming by Heavens Decree, To flourish and reign in this land, the glory of Britain to be. While hundreds and thousands do throng to welcome her here to her own, May Angels conduct her along, she being next Heir to a Throne, To nourish Religion and Laws, ordain'd by the Heavens Decree, Defending the Protestants Cause, the glory of Britain to be. Let every soul be agreed to root out the pestilent French; Away with the Jesuits breed, and give us an Orange sweet Babe. And likewise let this be our Prayer, now if it be Heavens Decree, To send a young Protestant Heir, the glory of Britain to be.
