I. WArlike Soldiers now Advance, Against the Pope and King of France With Cannon, Musket, Sword and Lance: We never will Surrender. We must either Fight or Dye; Therefore we will never fly, Till we get the Victory. Our King is Faith 's Defender . II. In Providence we put our Trust, For never was a Cause more Just; Since Adam was made out of Dust. And tho' our Men be Wounded, We'll confidently Fight and Sing, But ne'r believe a Popish King , Who would us under Slavery bring; Till Rome be quite Confounded. III. We shall quickly Aid receive, English Soldiers stout and brave, Which will London-Derry save From Irish Conjuration: Then we'll take the Field and Fight, To keep Religion in her Right, And put Confusion to the flight; And Rescue this poor Nation.
IV. Religion and our Liberties, Our Lives, and all, at Stake now lies; Then stand your Ground, and play the Prize; And never be Enslaved. Let every English Man and Scot Rather dye upon the Spot, Altho' the Fight be ne'r so hot, Than be by Rogues deceived. V. Tho' the French to make us fall, Muster Forces great and small, WILLIAM 's One against them all: He knows both Sea and Land too. The Orange was our Antidote, 'Gainst Mother Church , and Popish Plot: That threaten'd English both and Scot . Then be at His Command now. VI. Your Spirits rouse, and Muskets Poise, Drums and Trumpets, make a noise; Couragiously we will Rejoyce, And never fear for Dying. They'll Hereticks no Quarter grant; Both Faith and Charity they want. Then Live or Dye, be never Faint; Nor have a thought of flying.
