LET Drums beat and Trumpets sound, Let Bells ring the Nation round; let Banfires Flame to parly with the Stars: Let's this Joyful Tidings Sing, Of our most Victorious King, who now returns with Triumph from the Wars. Let full flowing Bumpers roar, Let Caps lye on the Floor, let Conduits run abundantly with Wine; Let us chearfully declare, We true Loyal Subjects are, assisters to King William's great Design. Come Boys fill's a spacious Glass, And to William let it pass the Hands of all our Noble English Peers; Why should not this Royal Gem, Wear the Golden Diadem, whose Equal was not Born this many years?
At his first Arrival here, England was in deadly fear of downfal, by the hand of Rome; But this rare Low-Country Pearl, With Prince, Marquess, Duke and Earl, did quickly make the stoutest of them run. When late James had fixt his Train, Richly Arm'd on Salisbury Plain, though they in note and number did excel; Yet when they heard of his report, Many had good laughing sport, they ran and never bid their King farewel. Now, now, King William's safe at home, The bravest Prince in Christendom, whose very Name through all the world doth ring, No Prince that ever wore a Crown, Did ever gain so much Renown, as this most Noble and Victorious King,
Fame told us into Flanders, With all his great Commanders, this Royal Monarch bravely took his way, The Power of France he treaded not, No nor the Thundring Cannot shot, be smil'd to heear the wife-mouth'd Guns to play. When wounded Men on every side, With heavy groans fell down and dy'd; his Princely Heart was not with fear possest: Says he, come on my English Boys, Our Trumpets make a pleasant noise, these noble Words his Royal mouth exprest. The Town of Mons so much renown'd, He would have Batter'd to the ground, had not the fearful French forsook the Town, But they his coming durst not stay, They left the Town and run away, thus he came off with Triumph and Renown. The bloody Wars are ended, Which Lewis once intended should quite consume the Realm of Ireland: Most of his famous Captains slain, The rest do Prisoners remain, and France it self in no good case doth stand. Of late in Noble manner, To Englands Fame and Honour, his high undaunted many Force was seen; He vows to Fight with Heart and Hand, So long as he can go or stand, for to defend his Kingdoms and his Queen. The Fame of English Men is spread As far as Phebus shews his Head; report of them flies swiftly up and down; Stout Cavendish that Heroick Peer, And brave Undaunted Delamere, Made all the Tories tremble at their frown. Now, now, let us rejoyce and sing, Let us applaud our gracious King, who lately gave so many French their Doom; He boldly ventured Life and Limb, Then let us bravely follow him, and pitch our Standards at the Gates of Rome.
FINIS.
