THE
Prince of Orange's Triumph,
Or, The Downfall of the Distressed JESUITS.
To the Tune of, COURAGIO.

NOw Orange is on Brittish shore,
come from his long Voyage O;
Now Orange is on Brittains shore,
come from his long Voyage O;
We now shall have no Masses more,
But will pull down their Scarlet Whore,
Couragio, Couragio, Couragio.

Now all her Brats we understand,
does weep at this Voyage O,
And forced are to quit the Land,
For fear of a strong Hempen Band,
Couragio, etc.

While here they Sung their Antick Song,
before the brave Voyage O,
The best of Subjects they did wrong,
But now they run away ding dong,
Couragio, etc.

The London Lads was much concern'd
at Fryars in this Axe O,
Therefore their Wooden Gods they burn'd
And trinkets into Ashes turn'd,
Couragio, etc.

They never stood to count their Cost,
they being in a Rage O,
Their Beads and Crucifix they lost,
Was ever Jesuits so Crost,
Couragio, etc.

Their hopes were turn'd to slavish fears,
at this August Voyage O,
Some sigh'd and stew'd in brinish T[ea]rs.
While others sneak'd & hung their Ears,
Couragio, etc.

The Prince of Orange Heavens bless;
who came on this Voyage O,
The Jesuits to dispossess;
God grant him evermore Suceess,
Couragio, etc.

When we beheld his Glorious Fleet,
sailing on their Voyage O,
Our whole desire was to meet,
The Kingdoms blessings to compleat,
Couragio, etc.

Now Welcome to our English Shore,
and now we will ingage O,
To Thump the Babilonish Whore,
And kick her Trumpery out of door;
Couragio, etc.

A short and merry life they led,
before this rage Voyage O,
But now Old Peters he is fled,
And some in [N]ewgate hide their Head;
Couragio, etc.

That Valiant Prince who hither came,
our Sorrows to asswage O,
O let his Right Renowned Name,
Recorded be in Books of Fame,
Couragio, etc.

He undertook a Glorious Cause
in this Warlike Voyage O
To keep us from Rome's Rav'nous Paws
And to preserve our Lives and Laws,
Couragio, etc.

Now let us all United be,
and then I will engage O,
In little space we soon shall free
This Land from Popish Tyranny;
Couragio, etc.

We value not the French-men's Frow[n]
who threatens to engage O,
We'll Raze [t]he Walls of e'ery Town,
And beat their lofty Towers down;
Couragio, etc.

If it should be our happy chance,
with Monsieur to Engage O,
With Forces thither we'll advance,
And shake the very Crown of France,
Couragio, Couragio, Couragio.

FINIS.
