GReat Brittain be Chearful and hold up thy head, All Sorrows are now with thy Enemies fled; And therefore our Spirits, brave Boys we may chear, For we have a Blessing now come in the Rear; The Storm and the Tempest will soon be o're-blown, A Protestant King being plac'd in the Throne, Which now is the Triumph and joy of the Town, King William and Mary is come to the Crown. The Nobles and Commons of e'ry degree, Does give satisfaction of their Loyalty; A Consort of voices strikes all in a strain, Long, long may King William here flourish and Reign,
The Heavenly Joys of this Land to compleat, And make all his Enemies fall at his feet, And cloath him with perfect true Fame and Renown, That long he may flourish with Scepter and Crown. While we have a Protestant Prince to survive, We well may be certain this Kingdom will thrive; Let no Man be subject to grieve or repine, For each may enjoy the Fruits of his own Vine, Without Molestation or any Regret, We all may be happy both in Church and State: It is not the Papists that can run us down, Now William and Mary is come to the Crown.
The Glory and Triumph of this Royal Day, Was grac'd by the Nobles and sweet Ladies gay, Who did with the Queen then for fair beauty bright, Then cast a most Splendid and Heavenly light, To those that beheld the vast numerous Train, Who wish'd them a long and a prosperous Reign; While Healths and full Bumpers went merrily round, Now Gracious King William and Mary is Crown'd. Whole hundreds and thousands did thither repair, Who no kind of Cost in the least then did spare, But freely then parted with Silver and Gold, In order this Heavenly Sight to behold; And being transported with Raptures of Joy, All Protestants crying out, Vive le Roy: Now cloath him with Honour, true Fame and Renown. That long he may flourish with Scepter and Crown. The Bells they did Ring, and the loud Cannons roar, To carry this joyful good Tydings all o're; While every honest true Protestant Soul, Did drink their good Healths in a full flowing Bowl; Who still will maintain our Religion and Laws, With loud Acclamations and Loyal Huzza's, While smiling full Bumpers went merrily round, King William and Gracious Queen Mary is Crown'd. Quite thorough the City, our joys to compleat, Vast Bonefires shined with Musick so sweet; Which did to the Triumph much pleasure afford, Then wishing great William our Soveraign Lord May ever be able dis Foes to subdue, Tyrconnel and all his whole Irish Crew; That this Potent Nation may still be Renown'd, Now William and Gracious Queen Mary is Crown'd. They are to the Throne and the Kingdom a Grace, As being both Born of the true Royal Race; Now by the Power of Heavens Decree, Are placed in the heighth of their Dignity; Long, long may the flourish our Rights to maintain, And Heavenly Blessings still sweeten their Reign: Then Peace in these Kingdoms will daily abound Now William and Gracious Queen Mary is Crown'd.
