1. LEt the Souldiers rejoyce, With a general Voice, And the Senate new Honours decree 'em; Who at his Armys head, Struck the fell Monster dead, And so boldly, so boldly, and bravely did free 'em. 2. To Mars let 'em raise, And their Emperor's praise, A Trophy of the Armys own making: To Maximinian too, Some Honours are due, Who joyned, who joyned in the brave Underta-king. 3. With Flowers let them strow The way as they go, Their Statues with Garlands adorning; Who from tyrannies night, Drave the Mists in their sight, And gave them, and gave them a glorious Mor-ning 4. Let all Glory and State On his Royalty wait, Great William the true Faiths defender; Wheresoever he goes, Still he conquers his Foes, Mighty Cities and Castles to him does surrender. 5. Let the Catholicks frown, While their Cause tumbles down, It is not proud France can restore 'em, Our great Monarch of fame Will his Enemies tame, For his army, his army doth drive all before 'em.
6. For they'll die ere they'll flinch, Or give back an inch, But fight under the Noble Banner, Of that soveraign Lord, Whose Conquering sword, Shall crown him, shall crown him with trophies of honour 7. Boys be Loyal to him, Fill the bowl to the brim, Heavens bless him from secret Malice, Let the sweet trumpets sound, As the Bumpers go round, Likewise wish him, lads, wish him, safe home to his Pallace. 8. As he sails to the shore, Let the loud Cannons roar Like the Claps of invincible thunder, Our joys to express, For his Royal success, Having fill'd the whole Kingdom, the Kingdom with wonder. 9. For the Protestants they, who in close Prisons lay, Are Releas'd by his Conquering Power, when the French bloody Crew He did rarely subdue, Who was forc'd in Confusion to scamper and scowre. 10. Let the bells ring for joy, While the French we destroy, And make the poor tories run nimble, And in time we'll advance To the Kingdom of France, where we'll make the proud insolent Tyrant to tremble.
