COme listen, you Protestant Subjects, that have any love for the Land, Heres Tydings of Joy, sing, Vive le Roy, the French are not able to stand Against our Great KING of Renowun, he tramples their Insolence down; Eer long they shall know him, and willingly show him that Dignity due to his Crown: With Bumpers therefore let us season our Joys, The Castle of Namur surrenderd, brave Boys. Our Canons did bellow like Thunder, and Bombs they did mount in the Air, And while thus we fought, dear Friends youd have thought the Great God of War had been there; For why, we encompassd them round, and Mortars sent Bombs to rebound, So fairly we slung em, they fell in among em, no manner of Safety they found: With Bumpers therefore let us season our Joys, The Castle of Namur surrenderd, brave Boys. Alas, it was not in their power, that fortifyd place to maintain, Altho they were stout, and thought to hold out, King WILLIAMs stout conquering Train Did show t[h]em such thundering play, that still in the heat of the Fray, As fast as we fird, the French they retird, it was but a folly to stay: Therefore with full Bumpers lets season our Joys, The Castle of Namur surrenderd, brave Boys. The French in their Castle did tremble, to hear how the Canons did roar, Whose battering Balls so shatterd their walls, they ner was so frighted before; For while this close Siege we did form, with Bombs we supplied them so warm, That, during the Action, they were in distraction, that just like a fiery storm, They fell on the Castle with thundring noise, This made them be glad to surrender, brave Boys.
Right Noble and Valiant Commanders did gallantly lead on their Men, Who then did appear, like Strangers to Fear, resolving to scour them then, Bold Britains, with other Allies, the Germans and Spaniards likewise, And while they contended, smoak-vapours ascended and seemed to darken the Skies; Saluting the French with a thundering noise, And forcd them to yield up t[he] [Cast]le, brave Boys. The Marquess de Boufflers he sweated with Anger and Passion of Mind, Quoth he, Is it so, Begar, must we go and leave this good Castle behind? It is a sad ting, I declare, and more den mes able to bear; When Leues my Master, shall hear this Disaster, Begar in a passion hell swear. And thus he went on with a sorrowful noise, Before he surrenderd the Castle, brave Boys. Quoth he, If the King of Great Britain is forced to take it by storm, The slaughtering Sword will ruin afford; therefore it is best to conform. The rest did immediately cry, Yes, let us surrender: For why, If we are serious, King WILLIAM will spare us; then let us not wilfully die. Theyre coming we hear with a thundering noise; This said, they surrenderd the Castle, brave Boys. Their General, with his whole Army, lay looking upon us the while, Yet struck not a blow, because you must know, he knew it was trouble and toyl; But when we the Castle had won, he packd up his Awls and he run; Unwilling to tarry, lest he should miscarry, he found what King WILLIAM had done. He frighted the French by his thundering noise, And forcd them to yield up the Castle, brave Boys.
