YE Kings and Princes, all draw nigh, And hear my Lamentation! For none was e'er so Curs'd as I, Who Rul'd this War-like Nation: To Irish Boggs forc[']d to Retreat, And quit the Crown of Britain ; Three Crowns of late, were mine by Fate, But now I[']ve none to Sit-on. (2) Scarce had the Irish sensless Crew Receiv'd me in their Army; But me, Brave William , do's pursue, And ev[']ry-where Alar'm me. Then Coward Teague begins to faint, His Courage then to fail him; And tho' the [B ]oyne to help him joyn, Yet dares not there Assail him. (3) As his Victorious Arms advance, I hasten to the Vulture ; And from the Rav[']nous Bird of F [r ]ance , Seek Succour or Sepulture: But such unfortunate Success Do's on each side attend me; That Heav'n, I doubt, will put to Rout, All those who dare befriend me. (4) 'Tis true, last Year an English Friend Did help the Gallick Navy; But now his Projects at an End, Of Help what prospect have I? My Brother Louis now thinks much Of all his vast Expences And if next Spring no Comfort bring, I shall be left defenceless (5) But never was less hope than now, Since William 's gon to Holland ; Where He and German Princes vow To make me King of No-Land .
Ah, 'tis a fatal Interview! Their Aspects shew my Ruin: Such Earthy Stars, [p]ortend more Wars, To perfect my undoing. (6) Whilst on a Glorious Chair of State Great WILLIAM sits Adored; I mourn to think on my hard Fate, Which makes me thus Abhorred. O Grief of Mind to be forlorn, And by my own Reproved; Whilst in each Heart He has a part Courted, Admir'd and Loved. (7) 'Twas my unblest Italian Queen, My Greatness that Confounded; Her Father's poor Estate is seen, With Fourscore Miles surrounded: By hocus Pranks, and Lazie Priests , And Popish Conjurations; She's pull'd me down, I've left my Crown, And Three brave War-like Nations. (8) The Bishops I sent to the Tower , And wou[']d have no Denial; I Hang'd my Subjects by my Power, And brought 'em then to Tryal. Poor Women I did Head and Hang, As Guilty of High-Treason: Thus ev[']ry Act was Popish Black, And destitute of Reason. (9) Then Kings and Potentates that be, Attend my Lamentation; And take Example now by me, Be wise by my Relation: For Providence doth rule all things, In Country, King, and People; But great[']s the Fall, and worst of all, That's from promotion's Steeple.
