A New Loyal SONG, upon
King WILLIAMS
Progress into IRELAND
To a New Scotch Tune of, Valiant Jockey Marcht away. With Allowance.

N Ow our Mighty William Goes
To Ireland to Subdue His Foes,
With the Noble force of Englands Crown,
To pluck the Ir ish Rebels down;
Fames loud Trumpet does Proclaim,
The greatness of His Royal Fame;
Fearing Him, now into Bogs they run,
His Justice, and His Rage to shun:
None of His foes, dare His pow'r oppose,
Heaven such success on Him bestows;
Just is His Cause, to defend our Laws;
Blessings Crown Him wheresoe're He goes.

When great William , whom they dread,
Shall meet them at His Armies Head,
Fear will so possess each Rebels heart,
That from their Standard they'l depart;
When His Mighty Sword they see,
He'll soon obtain the Victory:
There's no Rebel Teague that dare withstand
The fury of His powerful Hand;
Preists then must fly, Hone O Hone they'l cry,
And their Lord a second time deny;
To France they'll scowr from the Irish shore,
And desert him as they did before.

Rebels fly, and quit your Arms,
King Williams Name your Camp Alarms;
Now your Preists, & good St. Patricks Cross,
Will both be quickly at a loss;
Teague, O now prepare your Brogs,
To Trot a cross your Irish Bogs

Or at Royal Williams Footstool fall,
And for his Candid Mercy call;
He's so Brave, He'l a Rebel Save,
Covets not a Traytors blood to have:
Love and Mercy brings you the best of Kings,
Shelter therefore under his Sacred Wings.

Come ye Valliant English Lads,
Whose fame the Universe o'respreads;
For the Glory of our Englands Crown,
Lets pluck the Irish Rebels down:
Sound the Trumpets beat the Drums,
Great William now He comes He comes;
All His foes must fly and quit the Field,
Or else unto his Mercy Yeild.
Ireland now shall Obediance show,
And to Great King Williams Scepter bow;
Mounsieurs Valliant men must fly back again,
Or his grand Assistance will be slain.

Heaven bless our King and Queen,
Who have our Nations safe-guard been,
Wheresoe're They do Their Banner spread,
May Larwels Crown Their Royal Head;
Bless our Prince wheresoe're He goes,
May He Subdue His Rebel foes;
And in Battle so Successful be,
As alwaies gain the Victory;
Long may He Reign, and His Pow'r Maintain,
In His Kingdoms, and upon the Main;
May He Live in Peace, & His Pow'r Encrease,
And Reign Sovereign o're the Land and Seas.
