ENGLANDS Triumph,
OR,
The Kingdoms Joy for the proclaiming of King William , and His Royal Consort, Queen Mary , in
the Throne of ENGLAND , on the 13th. of this instant February . 1688.
To the Tune of, Thundering Cannons roar.
|
N ow the Royal deed is done,
|
King William 's seated on the Throne,
|
and we his Subjects justly own,
|
He was our preservation:
|
We our Lives and Fortunes owe,
|
To him who did that now'r o'rethrow,
|
And laid the Cross and Miter low,
|
which so disturb'd our Nation.
|
His Royal Consort's now come o're,
|
To bless with him our English shore,
|
What can Subjects covet more,
|
then such a pair to Rule us,
|
The Glories of our Court are clear,
|
Now Rome 's dark Clouds all disappear,
|
And shall no more o're-cast us here,
|
nor send their priests to fool us.
|
When vile pop'ry rul'd the Throne,
|
And nought without a priest was done,
|
Those pimps to th' whore of Babylon ,
|
who love to raise Sedition:
|
Our Bishops clap'd into the Tower ,
|
and we expecting ev'ry hour,
|
When Rome should all our land devour;
|
how bad was our Condition.
|
Till our brave P rince William came,
|
Who smote the Babylonian Dame,
|
And brought her Tod-pole Tools to shame,
|
redeem'd us all from Slav'ry:
|
Now we enjoy our Rights again,
|
We all their popish slights disdain,
|
And live secure beneath his Reign,
|
who scorns their Romish Knav'ry.
|
Englands Church so much opprest
|
Of all its Rights now re-possest,
|
With all its Sacred Glories blest,
|
it shines in Heavenly splendor,
|
May it ever so endure,
|
A nd everlasting peace procure,
|
For him who keeps our Church secure,
|
and crush'd the Romish Grandieur.
|
Now Injustice is pluck'd down,
|
The Lords those Jewels of the Crown,
|
Will glittering stand about the Throne,
|
to shew it in its Glories,
|
Whilst the Romans void of hope,
|
A re half in danger of a Rope,
|
They bite their thumbs and curse the pope,
|
and wish rhey'd ve're been Tories.
|
God preserve the Royal pair,
|
May Heavens bless them with an Heir,
|
For 'twould end brave Englands care,
|
and bless our Isle hereafter:
|
When Royal Sons they have good store,
|
So many that they'd ask no more,
|
May Heavens kindness ne're give o're,
|
but bless them with a Daughter.
|
May they all delights obtain,
|
P rove happy in a prosp'rous Reign,
|
And e'ery thing they wish for gain,
|
and prove to them a blessing:
|
P lenty of Treasure bless his Store,
|
A nd peace flow all his Kingdom o're,
|
May he meet with all things more,
|
that's worth a Kings possessing,
|
|
|
