PRotestants now we have cause to be chearful, bid all your sorrows and cares adieu; Tho' we of late had much cause to be fearful, happy sweet tydings I bring to you: The Prince of Orange is Proclaimed the King of England now this day, All the whole Nation with Joys are inflamed. as knowing King William with Scepter sways. True-hearted Protestants had not the power, their joy and merriment to forbear, The Cannons roaring likewise from the Tower, while Bells was fanning the lofty ayr:
All to declare their satisfaction, by the vast Tryumph of the Day, Praying that Heaven wou'd be the protection of William our King who the Scepter sways. Now in full Bumpers of flowing Canary, Boys, drink a Health to our Gracious King, Then to his Royal high Consort Queen Mary, who to this Nation much joy does bring: Down with the Pope and all his Faction, who did endeavor the Lands decay, While the true Church has a perfect Protection, by William our King who the Scepter sways.
Let us all Loyal Obedience here render to the great Monarch which we Proclaim, To be the Church and the Nations Defender, Heaven ordain him a happy Reign, That our Laws on sure Foundation, may be so fixt as ne'r to decay, That we may see a sweet flourishing Nation, while good King William the Scepter sways Having a sight of our long Expectations, raptures of joy did our Souls surprize; And thorugh the City with loud Acclamations there we saluted the lofty Skies; Crying, King William live for ever, who is Proclaim'd for us this day: From our Allegiance one Soul would not sever, while you the Sword and the Scepter sway. Who never feared the Storms of the Ocean, for our Religion, our Lives and Laws; Now may a flourishing Crown be his portion, who undertook such a Glorious Cause: Let this for ever be Recorded, for to be read another day, What Comfort he to this Nation afforded, the Scepter long may King William to sway All that we had was an iminent Danger, utter Destruction was near our Doom, The Church abused by every Stranger, the which was sent from the Pope of Rom[e] At length this Prince being mov'd with pity with a vast Fleet made haste away, Now he's Proclaimed in Londons great City, the Scepter long may King William to sway. After the Herald of Arms was returned, the more our Happiness to compleat, Liquor was flowing, while fires they Burned, like Blazing Comets in e'ry Street: Drinking of Healths to good Queen Mary, and to the King, proclaim'd this day, Never was Subjects more heartily Merry, wishing he long might the Scepter sway.
