I. WHAT Child has not heard of a conquering Tour, Carried on in a Trench by full Thousands fourscore? And how the Grand Monarch is flown Home again, In Triumph to reap the Reward of his Pain? Derry down. II. But he found when arrivd on the Frontiers of France, Instead of a Triumph, a cold Complaisance: For who could enjoy such an idle Parade, When Cape-Breton was lost, and an Emperor made! Derry down. III. This observd he complains to his trusty Bellisle, Must we ever be plagud with yon insolent Isle? To Monarchys Height, tis in vain to aspire, While so little a Spark can create such a Fire? Derry down. IV. Great Sir, says the Marshal, play off the Pretender: Tis not in your Arms to make Britain Surrender: Their Freedom so Spirits those obstinate Elves, They neer can be conquerd unless by themselves. Derry down. V. Thus alarmd he enjoins his Mock-Sovereign at Rome To send oer his Son if himself durst not come: For sure tis enough a fond Youth to convince, That if You be a King, he of Course is a Prince. Derry down. VI. By the POPE let the Strippling in private be blest Oh! And equippd with a Time-serving smooth Manifesto: In Terms howeer Solemn and strong it is made, Your Faith will instruct you such Ties to evade. Derry down. VII. And with him such Nobles, as farther Endearmne: Who, for not being hangd merit other Prefermet Then if they can once get the Cry on their Side, Our Armadas shall follow, and help to divide. Derry down. VIII. Thus France with her Vassals afresh has begun, To annoy what she envies most under the Sun: And a Kingdom so fair, so diffusive a Trade, Are motives enow to make Villians invade. Derry down. IX. But these Motives to them such base Efforts to try, Shoud make Us, something better than meer Standers-by: Tho in Politick Wranglings at times we delight; Yet against such Oppressors well ever unite. Derry down. X. Our Religion, our Government, Freedom, and All, Together, must stand, and together must fall: Still happy, if, in their Defence we succeed, And in that Defence, tis most glorious to Bleed. Derry down. XI. For if Papal Tyranny once mount the Throne, Like a Dream are the Days of our Happiness gone: With Slavery cursd, shall be each future Birth, And Britain no longer the Joy of the Earth. Derry down.
