Come brave Boys of great Renown, let not your Courage be cast down, Though Canons rore and Trumpets sound, and Drums and Pikes do rattle: There's not a man with courage bold But now may get good store of Gold, Our Enemies we'l so controul, and bravely give them Battel. Since Orange doth us not neglect, On our part shalt be no defeat, But that our Country we'll protect [Agai]nst any Foreign Nation.
The French we value not one jot, Nor Irish Teague that silly Sot, But both of them shall go to pot, whene'er we do engage um. Twas never known an English-man, Either by Sea or yet by Land, But valiantly his Post did stand, and danger never feared: Whenever that our Cause is good, We'l fight up to the knees in blood, Our Courage cannot be withstood, nor by our Foes be feared.
Weigh Anchor, then let's sail away, Time and Tide admits no stay; I care not if I were this day in France but safely landed: The French King then we'd make to scut, Worse than when his Arse was cut, That he ne'r more shall go to Rut, by us he'l be so branded. There's not a Souldier in the Land, Nor Seaman, as I understand, But cheerfully would lend a hand, to bring that Monarch under; Of late so insolent he's grown, The Protestants he does disown, And act a Tyrants part 'tis known, his malice doth so thunder. Though Father Peters there is safe, And in his sleeve now seems to laugh. A bitter Cup we'll make him quaff, than e'er he did at the Altar: The Villain run away for fear, For if he had staid longer here, I can but think how he would swear; his Head being in a Halter. Now let us all with one consent Thank God that hath a Prince us sent, As under him an Instrument to be our chief Director: And let a flowing Bowl go round Whilst we are still on English ground, Our Enemies for to confound, he'l still be our Protector.
