IN Mourning, in Mourning the Kingdom appears, And the eyes of true Subjects are flowing with tears, For our Grief and our Sorrow, alas, it is great, Since our gracious Queen Mary departed of late; By the hand of cold Death she was snatch'd from the Throne, Having left our most gracious King William alone.
The loss of the Queen we have cause to lament, In the prime of her Years from the World she is sent, While her sorrowful Subjects do weeping complain, Knowing that they shall never behold her again: By the hand of cold Death she was snatch'd from the Throne, Having left our most gracious King William alone.
O! What an unspeakable Change is there wrought? From a Throne, Crown, and Septer Q. Mary is brought For to take up her Lodging, now, now in the Grave; So uncertain is Honor and all that we have: By the hand of cold Death she was snatch'd from the Throne, Leaving gracious King William to Govern alone. She in the King's absence did Govern the Realm, With Discreation and Wisdom she sat at the Healm, While her Subjects in loyal Obedience did stand, For a publick Blessing she was to the Land: To our Sorrow and Grief she is snatch'd from the Throne, And our Monarch, King William, now Governs alone. There's nothing but Sorrow and Grief to be seen, Thro' the Court and the Kingdom for loss of the Queen, Who in less than a week was alive, well, and dead; And with her all our Joys and our Comforts are fled: By the hand of cold Death she was snatch'd from the Throne, Leaving Gracious King William to Govern alone. O! who would have thought when from Flanders he came, And the Queen she did meet him in triumph and fame, That her time was so near, yet, alas, it is so; She is gone having left us in Sorrow and Woe: By the hand of cold Death, etc. And has left good King William, etc. The learned Physitians was sent for with speed, She was dangerous ill, there was never more need But, alas, all the Skill in the World was in vain, For the Doctors they could not restore her again: By the hand of cold Death, etc. And has left good King William, etc. Her Soul is convey'd to the Regions of Joy, Where there's nothing her Comfort nor Peace can annoy, It is we that are left in sad sorrowful Tears, For the Loss of a Queen in the prime of her Years: By the hand of cold Death, etc. And has left good King William, etc. For gracious King William let's send up our Prayers, That the Lord would support him in all his Affairs, That he still may be able our Laws to defend; He has been to the Nation a fatherly Friend: Therefore Heaven, we hope, will establish his Throne, In the spight of his Foes, tho' he Governs alone.
