The Kingdoms Joy for the Proclaiming
King William and his Royal Consort Queen Mary
In the Throne of ENGLAND.
Tune, Lilli Burlero.
|
THe Protestant Subjects of England rejoice,
|
that you are so Blest in so happy a Choice;
|
The Members unanimously are agreed:
|
Brave Orange in England the Crown shall succeed;
|
Now our Rights and Priviledges
|
And our Religion He will maintain;
|
Heaven has chose him, let none then oppose him,
|
but bless him with Peace to the end of his reign.
|
When Priests were set up, and the Bishops pluck'd down,
|
Our Rights and our Liberties taken away;
|
Our Laws were opprest by the weight of the Crown,
|
And Subjects were slav'd by a priest-riden sway:
|
Brave King William nickt the moment,
|
gave us our Rights to enjoy again:
|
Heaven has chose him, let none then oppose him,
|
but bless him with peace to the end of his reign.
|
He nobly ventur'd his Fortune to come,
|
And Save us from being devour'd by Rome;
|
We ought to submit to his Regal Command,
|
Who hazarded Life for to Rescue our Land,
|
Popery which so lately disturbd us,
|
He as quite driven over the Main:
|
Heaven has chose him, let none then oppose him,
|
but bless him with peace to the end of his reign.
|
Our Rights whom the Romans so greatly opprest,
|
Now under King William again we've possest:
|
How kind has his Aid, and how Just is his Cause,
|
Who rais'd up our Church, and supported our Laws
|
by his Care and great Assistance,
|
Now we have broke the Romish Chain,
|
heaven has chose him, let none then oppose him,
|
But bless him with peace to the end of his reign.
|
May the King and our Nation forever agree,
|
And then from Disorders our Land will be free,
|
May grudges and all animosities cease,
|
And may we be blest both with plenty and peace,
|
heavens prosper good King William,
|
And may our Nation flourish again,
|
heaven has chose him, let none the oppose him,
|
But bless him with peace to the end of his reign.
|
May Royal Queen Mary his Consort live long,
|
For ever be Fruitful, and ever be Young,
|
That their Off-spring futurely in the Throne may shine,
|
And carry the Crown in a Protestant line:
|
may no blessings e're be wanting,
|
That they desire for to obtain
|
heaven has chose them, let none e're oppose 'em,
|
But bless them with peace to the end of their reign.
|
No Protestants here could refuse him their Votes,
|
Who sav'd the vile Papists from cutting our Throats;
|
Therefore we ought our Allegiance to pay,
|
And gladly submit to his Protestant sway;
|
our Church and Laws are both secure,
|
Both he has promis'd for to maintain,
|
heaven has chose him, let none e're oppose him,
|
But bless him with peace to the end of his reign.
|
Welcome great King and the Queen to the Throne,
|
Who set up our Laws, and pluck'd popery down;
|
May all the Three Kingdoms be speedily brought,
|
To pay their Allegiance to you as they ought;
|
that the Crown in's Ancient Splendor,
|
May appear toth' world again,
|
and e'ry Blessing, that's worth the possessing,
|
Attend our King William toth' end of his reign.
