IN Mourning, in Mourning the Kingdoms appears, And the Eyes of true Subjects are flowing with Tears, For our Grief and our Sorrow, alas, it is great, Since our Gracious Queen Marie departed of late; By the hand of cold Death she was snatchd from the Throne, Having left our most gracious King William alone. The loss of our Queen, we have cause to lament, In the prime of her Years, from the World she is sent, While her Sorrowful Subjects, do weeping complain, Knowing that they shall never behold her again: By the hand of cold Death, etc. O! what an unspeakable Change is there wrought? From a Throne, Crown and Septer, Queen Marie is brought, For to take up her Lodging, now, now in the Grave; So uncertain is Honour and all that we have: By the hand of cold Death, etc. She in the Kings absence, did Govern the Realm, With Discreation and Wisdom, she sat at the Helm, While her Subjects in Loyal Obedience did stand, For a publict Blessing she was to the Land; To our Sorrow and Grief she is snatchd from the Throne, And our Monarch King William, now Governs alone. Theres nothing but Sorrow and Grief to be seen, Thro the Court and the Kingdoms for loss of the Queen Who in less than a week, was Alive, Well, and Dead; And with her all our Joyes and our Comforts are fled: By the hand of cold Death, etc. O! who would have thought, when from Flanders he came, And the Queen she did meet him in Triumph and Fame, That her time was so near, yet, alas, it is so, She is gone and hath left us in Sorrow and Wo[e]: By the hand of cold Death, etc. The learned Physitian was sent for with speed She was dangerous ill, there was never more need; But, alas, all the Skill in the World was in vain, For the Doctors they could not restore her again: By the hand of cold Death, etc. Her Soul is conveyd to the Regions of Joy, Where theres nothing her Comfort and Peace can annoy, It is we that are left in sad sorrowful Fears, For the loss of a Queen in the prime of her Years; By the hand of cold Death, etc. For gracious King William lets send up our Prayers, That the LORD would support him in all his Affairs; That he still may be able our Laws to defend, He has been to the Nation a Fatherly Friend; Therefore Heaven, we hope, will establish his Throne, In the spight of his Foes, tho he Governs alone.
