ADieu my sweet Lady of Royal Renown, I being resolv'd to pull Popery down; It is not a time any longer to stay, The Season's advanced, and I must away, To head a vast Army of Protestant boys, Who fears not the French nor the Tory Dear-Joys.
I leave thee here seated on the Royal Throne, Where both Lords and Commons thy Power will own; And labour to keep the whole Kingdom from Jarrs, While I am abroad in the Irish Wars, To head a vast Army of Protestant boys, Who fears not the French, nor the Irish Dear-Joys.
A King in their presence true Courage will raise, Which has been expected these many long days; But now having settl'd the weighty Affairs, I shall put an end to the doubts, fears and cares; And head my vast Army of Protestant boys, Who fears, etc. There's many brave Nobles, my sweet Royal Queen, Now freely will enter the sharp bloody Sceen; As stout and Courageous as Brittain e're bred, Which will fill the Rebels with horror and dread, At sight of my Army of Protestant boys, Who fears, etc. With vigour and Courage they'll chase and pursue The Rebels and Traytors, until they subdue The Cities and Castles all over the Land, And make them repent that they ever did stand, To cope with an Army of Protestant boys, Who fears, etc. I often have heard of the Glory and Fame Of my valiant Soldiers, who vows to proclaim Their Gracious King William, where-ever they go, So soon as they've Routed the insolent Foe: I'll head my vast Army of Protestant boys, Who fears, etc. Those true Noble Hero's, who valiantly Fight, The wrongs of that Kingdom in order to right; And likewise survive, when the Victory's won, They shall be rewarded for what they have done In Person I'll be with my Protestant boys, Who fears, etc. And now my sweet Queen, with a Royal Embrace, I leave thee to Govern and Rule in my place; May Heaven preserve thee to flourish and Reign, Until I with Triumph return home again: For now will I head my true Protestant boys, Who fears not, etc. A Blessing go with thee, they Queen then reply'd, May Angels still Guard thee on every side; Defending the Life of my Soveraign Lord, And Victory give to thy Conquering Sword; To free those poor Souls that in Prison remain, And then the three Kingdoms will Flourish again.
FINIS.
