NOble English Boys, here's a thousand Joys, with a Protestant King and Queen, Which the Heavens sent, Romans to prevent, changing the Superstitious scene: Some Priests flew like Chaff before the wind, others are confin'd, to receive their doom, While King William's Crown'd, and Renown'd, in the very spight of Rome.
Now no Jesuit shall in Council sit, or be trusted in affairs of State, None such Vipers dare, to the Court repair, we had enough of them of late: Sion now shall flourish once again, in this happy Reign from all danger free, Now King William's Crown'd, and renown'd, with his Royal Dignity.
On this day of fame, the chief Nobles came, all the Town was with Triumph fill'd, With their Ladies gay, in as rich array, as ever Mortal Eyes beheld: Joy and Glory did attend the Train, no one cou'd refrain, but the blessings own, While our King was seen, with his Queen, seated on the Royal Throne. For their high descent, gives the Land content, being born of the Royal Race, The rich Diadem, he becomes it then, with such a most Majestick Grace, Which did Joy to all his Subjects bring, seeing of their King, in his Royal Robe, And resolve to fight, with delight, make him Lord of all the Globe. Healths went fairly round, with knees to the ground whilst soft Musick did sweetly play, And the Cannons roar, from the Tower shore, all for to celebrate the day; From the thrice Renowned, to the mean, drink to King and Queen, on their bended knees, And when he shall call, they will all, cross the raging roaring Seas. That we may subdue, Talbot and his Crew, making Brittain with glory shine; Since King William came, who is Crown'd with fam[e] blest by a power most divine: Since the work so far is carry'd on, there is scarce a Man, but will there presume, In the spight of France, now advance to the very gates of Rome. Let the Romans rave, while we them out-brave, since great William is Crowned King Let them fret and Chafe, while our Church is safe under his gracious Princely wing; Our sharp Swords shall fairly reap the Field, and make papists yield, to a prince of Fame, We'll make all his Foes, with our blows, tremble at his Royal Name.
FINIS.
