I. COme listen to me, brave English Boys, For now's the time for to lay aside Toys, I'll tell you a Tale that will baffle your Joys; For I am inform'd there's a terrible Noise, Of Invasion. II. Monsieur, they say, in a Fury has swore, He'll over, and land on the English Shoar; Though now 'tis an Hundred Years and more, Since Spain did pretend on the very same Score, An Invasion. III. A terrible Fleet, and Army, He'll bring. Some say, they will surely be here this Spring. The Jacobites threaten us too with their King, That He with his Valour, alass! poor Thing, Will Invade us. IV. Ten thousand Dear Joys are to be in the Van, And they, to be sure, are terrible Men; For they are the same that in Ireland ran, From the Face of our Army, but that's all one, They'll invade us. V. A Thousand Ships, both small and great, Must come to do this mighty Feat. But hang 'em, they talk at a very mad rate, And none but a Jacobite Rogue would prate, Of Invasion.
VI. They boast indeed of some great Lords, And strut like valiant Men in Words: But their tongus are as harmless as their swords And who'd be afraid of a pack of Turds, To invade us. VII. When Valiant William leads us on, Like Mars himself, and we his Sons, Monsieur must quickly change his Tune, And Teague return to his old Hone, Oh! hone. No Invasion. VIII. When Noise of Drums and Trumpets roar And English Shouts on Gallick Shore, Then Lewis must ne're be le Grand any more And farewel the Charms of sweet Lewid'or, And invasion. IX. When princes & states shall recover their own And Subjects oppressed shall cease for to moan Then Traytors & Tyranny all shall go down And Monarch Invincible scarce keep his Crown From invasion. X. When Liberty, Property, all are secure, The People in Freedom, the King in just Power Then the Blessings of Peace & Religion will showr. From above, and continue for many an Hour. From invasion.
