King WILLIAM'S
Welcome from Flanders;
OR,
The True Protestants Loyal Health
For his Happy and Safe Return.
Tune of, Mary live Long. Licensed according to Order.
|
LEt Glory and Fame,
|
With loud Acclamations,
|
Flow through the three Nations
|
Great William by Name,
|
Our Conquering King,
|
Is in safety sail'd o'er,
|
To the fair British-shore,
|
from Flanders again,
|
O still let him Flourish,
|
Boys still let him Flourish,
|
And long live and Reign.
|
In his absence we mourn'd,
|
But now we a blessing,
|
In joy are possessing,
|
He's safely Return'd
|
Which fills us with joy;
|
Now in full flowing Bowls,
|
Let all honest Souls,
|
Drink Bumpers amain,
|
And Crown him with wishes,
|
And Crown him with wishes,
|
Of Long live and Rain,
|
We ne'er had a King
|
Could ever come near him;
|
His Enemies fear him,
|
His Glory shall ring
|
Thro' Europe brave Boys,
|
For he fears not proud France,
|
But in field does advance
|
With his Warlike Train:
|
Then Crown him with Wishes,
|
Then Crown him with Wishes,
|
Of Long Live and Reign.
|
Soft Lodgings of Down
|
He never admires,
|
His Conduct requires
|
True Fame and Renown,
|
With freedom from Thrall:
|
Now to keep us secure,
|
He the storm did endure
|
With his warlike Train,
|
Then Crown him Wishes,
|
Boys Crown him with Wishes,
|
Of Long Live and Reign.
|
The Powers above
|
Secur'd him from dangers
|
Amongst Foreign Strangers,
|
Now with Royal love.
|
Let Protestants all
|
Make the Elements Ring.
|
Now with God save the King,
|
Strike all in a Strain,
|
And Crown him with Wishes,
|
Boys Crown him with Wishes,
|
Of Long live and Reign.
|
From the Camp to the Court,
|
Let Triumph attend him,
|
And Marriners send him,
|
By Cannons Report,
|
Their transports of Joy,
|
Through the Realm in all Parts
|
Let a Consort of Hearts,
|
Strike all in a strain:
|
To Crown him with Wishes,
|
Boys Crown him with Wishes,
|
Of, long live and reign.
|
Let every Brow
|
Look Pleasant and Airy
|
Fill Bowls with Canary,
|
Our happiness now
|
We'll freely make known
|
There is none but our Foes,
|
This Health will oppose,
|
Let's drink it again,
|
And Crown him with Wishes,
|
And Crown him with Wishes,
|
Of, long live and reign.
