To the Tune of, Let Caesar Live long. Licensed according to Order.
|
LEt Bells through the Nation now merrily Ring,
|
To welcome home William our Conquering King;
|
Who headed his Army in Flanders this Year,
|
Making the proud Frenchmen flye from him for fear:
|
And now is return'd from fair Flanders again,
|
God send him a prosperous flourishing Reign.
|
The Trumpets did sound and the Drums they did beat,
|
At which War-like Musick the French did Retreat;
|
As fearing to face our Great King in the field,
|
Whose Courage and Conduct much Terror did yield:
|
And now he's return'd from fair Flanders again,
|
God send him a prosperous flourishing Reign.
|
He doth not desire to live at his Ease,
|
But leaving the Court, still he crosses the Seas,
|
In order our Insolent Foes to Subdue,
|
And many a hazard of Life hath [r]un through;
|
Yet he is in safety returned again,
|
God send him a prosperous flourishing Reign.
|
Confederate Princes of Fame and Renown,
|
Whom Trophies of Honour for ever shall Crown,
|
Attended King William, whose Glory and Fame,
|
This day through all Europe, brave Boys we'l proclaim
|
He's safely Arriv'd from fair Flanders again,
|
God send him a prosperous flourishing Reign.
|
As famous fair Holland King William came through,
|
The former Rejoycing again they renew;
|
And as at the length he took leave of the Shore,
|
To enter on Board, the loud Cannons did Roar:
|
Now, now he's Arriv'd to fair England again,
|
God send him a prosperous flourishing Reign.
|
Now as he arriv'd to the Banks of our Land,
|
True Protestant Subjects in thousands did stand
|
Ready to receive him with Joy and Delight,
|
His Presence soon put Clouds of Sorrow to flight:
|
He's safely Arriv'd from fair Flanders again,
|
God send him a prosperous flourishing Reign.
|
Full Bumpers went round then his most Royal Health,
|
Still wishing him Triumph, with Glory and Wealth,
|
To make his proud insolent Enemies bow,
|
Whilst Joy sat Enthroned on every Brow,
|
To see him in safety from Flanders again;
|
God send him a prosperous flourishing Reign.
|
And as he approach'd to the Court and the Queen,
|
Amongst all the Nobles true Triumph was seen,
|
Expressing their Joy, the sweet Musick did play,
|
For to Celebrate the Magnificent Day
|
On which he return'd from fair Flanders again;
|
God send him a prosperous flourishing Reign.
|
Let Jacobite-Catholicks frown if they please,
|
We care not a figg for such Persons as these,
|
So long as King William is blest from above,
|
And we are partaking of his Royal Love:
|
Brave Boys, he's return'd from fair Flanders again,
|
God send him a prosperous flourishing Reign.
|
|
FINIS.
