NOw England's Bloudy Flag's display'd; The French-men do our Fury dread. Great William Vows for to maintain The Rights of England on the Main: His valliant Seamen scorn to flinch, They'll dye e'er give their Foes an Inch. Brave Protestants they will Advance, We'll scare the Pope and King of France. Our Navy Spreads their Canvas Wings, And to the French Distruction brings. Our gallant Fleet so brave appears, It makes the French-men hang their Ears.
The might Pow'r of England's Crown, Shall pluck that Popish Tyrant down, Old England's Glory to Advance, We'll scare the Pope and King of France. Let Monsieur now, doe what he can, We'll still Reign Master o'er the Main; Old England's Right upon the Sea, In spight of France maintain'd shall be; Our Cannons thundring from each Ship, Shall send the French-men to the Deep, Old England's Glory to Advance, We'll scare the Pope and King of France.
No Seaman fears to lose his Bloud, To justifie a Cause so good. The French, which long has spoil'd our Trade, And further, would our Rights Invade. Their bold Endeavours soon we'll tire, Their cow'rdly Fleet we'll sink and fire: Our Nations Glory to Advance, We'll scare the Pope and King of France. The private Leagues which once you made, To spoil our Land, are all betray'd: To Recompence your King for that, We'll make you feed our Mackrell fat: We'll show you all such English Play, Shall make you scow're and flie away, Old England's Glory to Advance, We'll scare the Pope and King of France. The Force which they to Ireland send, Like Beasts within a Pound are Pen'd, And now, before they get away, We'll make them for their Trespass pay: Brave England will no more be fool'd, Nor by a Popish Prince be rul'd, Old England's Glory to Advance, We'll scare the Pope and King of France. All valliant Lads within our Land, To pluck down France will lend a hand: Then Pope and Monsieur, have a care, 'Twill prove to both a fatal War,
Whilst England shall successfull be, In plucking down of Popery, Old England's Glory to Advance, We'll scare the Pope and King of France. For to advance King William's Fame, We'll add new Glories to his Name, The haughty Monsieur we'll pluck down, And make him bow to England's Crown: Our Papist Foes our Pow'r shall know, We'll bring their Cross and Miter low, Old England's Glory to Advance, We'll scare the Pope and King of France. We have a Prince, whose mighty hand, From Popish Ills protect our Land. The Scarlet Whore he has o'er come, And pluck'd down all the Pride of Rome. The Protestants he has redrest, Who were with many Laws opprest, Old England's Glory to Advance, We'll scare the Pope and King of France. Now England is so powerfull grown, Poor Monsieur totters in his Throne. Brave Boys, with Courage let's proceed, No English man will fear to bleed. The cow'rdly French we'll soon confound, Brave William shall in France be Crown'd, Old England's Glory to Advance, We'll scare the Pope and King of France.
