I. ROyal and Fair, Great Willy's dear Blessing, The Charming Regent of the Swain, Heavy with Care thus sadly expressing Her Grief, sat weeping on the Plain; Why did my Fate Exalt me so high, If fading State must deprive me of Joy, Whilst Willy is gone, Ah! how vainly shines the Sun, Till Fate Decree The Wind and Sea, Waft waft him to me. II. Large are my Flocks and flowry my Pasture, Worth Treasures vast of Silver and Gold, Where Rav'nous Wolves conspire to be Masters, Devour all my Lambs, and break down my Folds; Willy whilst here Secur'd me from Fear, All the wild Herd stood in awe of Dear, But poor helpless I, Mourning Sigh, and hourly Cry, Let Fates Decree The Winds and Sea, Waft waft Willy to me. II. Valiant and Wise he now 'mong the Princes, Consults and Acts for England's good, Noble and Bold his Foes he convinces, With Danger he's to be withstood, His Glory there Increases my Fear,
Since to his Enemies he is so near; His Courage of Fire Makes me still wish and desire; Till Fates Decree The Wind and Sea, Waft waft him to me. IV. While he abroad does our Enemies vanquish, The Rav'nous Bores and Foxes of France, Our home-bred Wolves do hear it with anguish And Scandals 'gainst his Fame advance; They all profess, That England they Love, Yet wish them Success, whose fierce hatred we prove But they'll be content, They'r gross Folly to Repent, When Fates Decree The Wind and Sea, Waft waft him to me. V. Though Willy's Love to me is exceeding, Yet is his Love to Honour more, He cannot see brave Europe Bleeding, But lends his Hav'n assisted Power; Ireland has shown Some wonders he's done; And now in Flanders new Lawrels are won, Then calm thee my Breast, Free from Fear and Sorrow rest, Tiil Fates Decree The Wind and Sea, Waft waft Willy to me.
