I. LET the Soldiers rejoyce, With a general Voice, And the Senate new Honours and Glory decree 'em, Who at his Army's Head, Struck the fell Monster dead, And so boldly, so boldly, so bravely did free 'em. II. To Mars let 'em raise, And their Emperor's Praise, A Trophy of Fame of the Army's own making: To Maximinian too, Some honours are due, Who joyned, who joyned, in the brave Undertaking. III. With Flower's let 'em strow The Way as they go, Their Statues with Garlands of Roses adorning; Who from Tyrannies Night, Drave the Mists from their sight, And gave them, and gave them a glorious Morning. IV. Brave Boys of Renown, Whom Lawrels shall Crown, For your valliant Exploits with your famous Commanders, Rejoice now and Sing, Drink Healths to the King, Whose Valour and Conduct exceeds Alexanders . V. With Sword in our Hand, We'll Couragiously stand And oppose all Rebellers 'gainst Englands great Crown, Boys, All Europe shall see, Our true Loyalty, Whilst we fight for to purchase Great William Renown, Boys,
VI. The French are all fled, With De Lausun their Head, To the Tyrant their Master they now do advance too, With Boys stout and true, We them will pursue, And beat the proud Lewis and them out of France too VII. We'll banish all fear, From the Front to the Rear, Drums beating, Flags flying, and Cannons s[hall] thunder, French and Irish shall own, That King William alone, Deserves their Allegiance, and all the worlds wonder. VIII. Great Limerick Town, We'll soon batter down, If they do not their Forts and their Castles surrender, For Providence we see, Crowns with Victory, The valliant King William Great Brittains Defender. IX. Let us stand to our Trust, Since our Cause it is Just, There is none but the French and the Pope will deny it, If they will not submit, As we shall think fit, We are ready with Sword and with Musquet to try it, X. If the Fleet does stand true, As we hope it will do, No occasion we have then at all to repine, Boys, The Rebells all runs, At these noise our Guns, Then drink the Kings Health in a Glass of good Wine, Boys .
