KIng William returning from Flanders , with triumph and joy to the Land, Next way he did please, for pleasure and ease, a Progress to take out of hand, That Subjects of e'ry degree, they might have the honour to see Their King, who had ventur'd, and Battles had enter'd to conquer the proud Enemy: Where-ever he came they receiv'd him with Joy, The Subjects still crying out Vive le Roy. He came to the Town of Newmarket , where Monarchs have formerly been; The greatest of Men, with loyalty then, came forth for to usher him in; No manner of frowns did appear, but joy from the front to the rear, Was seen in their Faces, repeating his Graces, right valiant and void of all fear: Thus did they receive him with Triumph and Joy, Their loud Acclamations were Vive le Roy. Althrop he was pleased to honour, a Town in Northamton-shire , where The Nobles of fame in multitudes came, and Commons in croudes did repair, That they might their Monarch behold, of whom they had often been told; When coming before him, they seem'd to adore him, their Champion couragious and bold: Then nothing was heard but loud Echoes of Joy, Sent forth by Expressions of Vive le Roy. He din'd with the Earl of Northampton , at Castle-ashby in his way, The Earl Mountague , both loyal and true, did treat him the very next day At Boughton , where mirth did abound, full bowls of Canary went round, So great was the Blessing which they was posessing, no shadow of Grief could be found: Where-ever he came there was nothing Joy, With loud Acclamations of Vive le Roy.
The Duke of Newcastle he met him, full seven long Miles of Town; Now this being done, the Earl of Kingston with other brave Lords of Renown, Rich Banquets did daily prepare; thus he like a Monarch did fair Among his leage People, whilst every Steeple with ringing of Bells did declare, How they were transported with Raptures of Joy, The Multitude crying out Vive le Roy. The City of York did receive him, in all their Formalities gay; When entering there, that noble Lord-Mayor King William he Knighted that day: Thus did he his Favours bestow, where e're he was pleased to go, The Bowls of Canary to make their hearts merry, like plentiful Fountains did flow; The City resounding with Echoes of Joy, And loud Acclamations of Vive le Roy. Brave Warwick was no ways behind them, for at the approach of our King The Bonfires blais'd, and Bells they were rais'd, oh! how they did merrily ring. They brought out the Pot of Sir Guy , which many long Years had layn dry; Three Pipes did but fill it, they vow'd they'd not spill it, their Cheeks they resolved to dye Like Scarlet in Grain, for this general Joy; Their loud Acclamations was Vive Le Roy. Nay, Burford , and all other places, where-ever his Majesty came, Pray'd for his Success, they could do no less, but needs must his glory proclaim: He homeward at length did repair, to meet with his Parliment there; May Heavens defend him, and Blessings attend him, so shall the dark clouds of our care, Be chang'd to a pleasant bright sun-shine of Joy, And all the whole Kingdom cry Vive le Roy.
