I. LET the Nation be glad, And each true hearted Lad Rejoyce, for Lim---ricks surrender; Set the Bells all to Ring, Whilst each Protestant Sings All Joy to, all Joy to brave Ginkle Commander. II. Tho' Sarsfield's whole Force, That's composed of Horse, Was got to the To---wn in the Night Boys, When a Sally they made, We the Irish so paid, That they scamper'd, they scamper'd, & run like to Dear Joys. III. The Walls of their Town, Which our Balls have beat down, Has put the Besie---g'd in Confusion, And our Bombs which were thrown, So much mischief have done, To surrender, surrender is now the Conclusion. IV. Brave Ginkle's whole Force, Beat the Enemies Horse, And kill'd of the I---rish Six Hundred, And without more adoe, 300 Prisoners took too, Whilst they in the, they in the Town gaz'd and wonder'd.
V. A white Flag they hung out, Which appeased the Stout, And straitways for Ho---stages changed; Brave Scravenmore went in, And Prince Hesse with him, Whilst Sarsfield, and Wahop for them were exchanged. VI. It was on the Fourth day Of October, I say, The strong Town of Li---merick that Wonder, Was left by their Force, Both of Foot and of Horse, To the English, the English, to Enter and Plunder. VII. Now may Ireland be, Erom the Rapparees free, Since K. William has a--ll the strong places, May they all now submit, Or the Land forc'd to quit, And never more, never more dare show their Faces. VIII. Let the Guns in the Tower, Be discharged each hour, While our Drums beat, and Trum---pets are sounding; Let us all now advance, 'Gainst the Power of France, To the Monsieurs, the Monsieur's utter Confounding.
