[1] ALl Loyal Subjects resolve to be merry, The Duke of Grafton's return'd safe home, Who in the West made the Rebels miscarry, And brought them to their Just Fatal Doom; Let's Ring our Bells, our Drums let's beat, And every tipe of Mirth imploy; Nothing to wellcome him can be too great, Let e'ry heart bless his return with Joy. [2] Happy's the Subject possest of those Favours, Love of his Prince, and his Country too, Gain'd by his valliant and Noble behavours, Bold in his Actions, and alwaies true; May all his Blessings here continue-him, And may his Fame the World Convince; He has a Soul brave and Loyal within-him, Dare to do any thing for his Prince. [3] To gain Experience beyond Sea he Travel'd, his Knowledge in forreign Courts to 'mprove, They at his Gracefull Brave Presence all marvel'd, and thought him Born both for War and Love; Every heart pursued his Favour, And in his Arms a Captive fell. Charm'd by his Looks and his Noble Behavour; no Prince his Virtue could e're excell.
[4] His Absence by all Good Subjects was mourned, He graetly was mist by the Noble Train, But now he back into Englands returned, To Bless his own Native Land again; The Cry is pleasant to each Ear, The Loyal Duke of Grafton's come, And e'ry Heart full of Joy doth appear, And Gladly doth wish him a wellcome home. [5] Come Loyal Subjects who scorn the base Trimmer, Charge up a merry cup to the Brim, Here's Loyall Graftons health boys in a Brimmer, Let all Love him as he Loves our KING, Long may he live and Happy be, And all the Worldly Bliss enjoy; From all Misfortunes may Heav'n keep him free, And every unhappy thought distroy. [6] When this great Man to the grave shall retire, May no Oblivion his Fame distroy; Then may his Soul to Bright Heaven aspire; And there be Crown'd with immortal Joy; He that refuses his same Glass, To drink the Health I have begun, Surely shall have three or four in his Face, He therefore had better to drink of one.
