HEr'e joyful good tydings I bring you this day, Therefore listen a while, loving Subjects, I pray, Now the Monsieurs at Namur, have met with their match There's an Army in Flanders the work will dispatch, For already King William of fame and renown, He has made them been glad to surrender the town. The French had not power nor strength to oppose Such an Army, which follow'd them up with dry blows, They were forc'd to give back, and we follow'd them still With a tast of our courage and conquering skill: Thus our valliant King William of fame and renown, He compell'd him to yield and surrender the town.
At first they their cannon did fire amain, But we sent them back double and treble again; From the morning till night our loud mortars did roar, They had scarce ever heard such a thunder before: Thus their walls and high battlements we batter down, Till the French they were forc'd to surrender the town. We press'd on a main for to take the half moon, And with courage undaunted we conquer'd them soon, For our noble Commanders, right valiant and bold, Was resolved at last for the seize the stro[ng] hold. Thus right valiant K William of fame and renown, Has compell'd the proud French to surrender the town.
The noble Lord Cutts, with a party of men, Through the fire he follow'd our enemies then, With that resolution the like was ne'er known, Till the French was distressed and made pitious maon, For they see that dame fortune upon them did frown, Therefore willing they were to surrender the town. The Cannons were roaring, and bullets did fly, While the smoak of the boombs seem to darken the sky, Many valliant brave Soldiers lay dead on the ground; We at last was with triumph and victory crown'd: For right valliant King William of fame and renown, Did compel them to yield and surrender the town. It was but a folly for them to dispute, For he still did afford them a warlike salute, Never giving them rest neither morning nor night; They were all in a fear and a sorrowful plight: Thus right valliant King William of fame and renown, Did compel them to yield and surrender the town. We'll soon have the castle we make no great doubt, Tho perhaps, at the present, they seem to hold out, For we find that their glory begins to decay, While King William, for victory carries the day; For the pride of the French he begins to pull down, And has made them be glad to surrender the town. Let's pray that he still may be crown'd with success, For he venture's his life our wrongs to redress, He the greatest of hazard and danger goes through, While he labours with care the proud foe to subdue; The French Courage at Namur he now has pulld down, Ay and made them be glad to surrender the town. We hope that e'er long he'll subdue many more; Cherle[r]oy, likewise Mons, they at length must restore, Or the fury of valliant King William they'll feel, Tho perhaps for a time he the same may conceal: Let them think how at Namur he pulld their pride down, And did force them to yield and surrender the town.
