NEW SONG
ENTITULED THE
Seige of London-Derry,
OR THE
CHURCH MILITANT.
Containing the Sum of Collonel Walker 's Speech, whereby he perswaded his
Beseiged Soldiers, to continue Stead-fast, Valiant, and Couragious, a little
before they Obtained the last Great Victory over the Enemy.
To the Tune of, Hark the Thuddering Cannons Roar, etc.
Lycensed, and Entered according to Order.
|
I.
|
WArlike Soldiers now Advance,
|
Against the Pope and King of France
|
With Cannon, Musket, Sword and Lance:
|
We never will Surrender.
|
We must either Fight or Dye;
|
Therefore we will never fly,
|
Till we get the Victory.
|
Our King is Faith 's Defender .
|
II.
|
In Providence we put our Trust,
|
For never was a Cause more Just;
|
Since Adam was made out of Dust.
|
And tho' our Men be Wounded,
|
We'll confidently Fight and Sing,
|
But ne'r believe a Popish King ,
|
Who would us under Slavery bring;
|
Till Rome be quite Confounded.
|
III.
|
We shall quickly Aid receive,
|
English Soldiers stout and brave,
|
Which will London-Derry save
|
From Irish Conjuration:
|
Then we'll take the Field and Fight,
|
To keep Religion in her Right,
|
And put Confusion to the flight;
|
And Rescue this poor Nation.
|
IV.
|
Religion and our Liberties,
|
Our Lives, and all, at Stake now lies;
|
Then stand your Ground, and play the Prize;
|
And never be Enslaved.
|
Let every English Man and Scot
|
Rather dye upon the Spot,
|
Altho' the Fight be ne'r so hot,
|
Than be by Rogues deceived.
|
V.
|
Tho' the French to make us fall,
|
Muster Forces great and small,
|
WILLIAM 's One against them all:
|
He knows both Sea and Land too.
|
The Orange was our Antidote,
|
'Gainst Mother Church , and Popish Plot:
|
That threaten'd English both and Scot .
|
Then be at His Command now.
|
VI.
|
Your Spirits rouse, and Muskets Poise,
|
Drums and Trumpets, make a noise;
|
Couragiously we will Rejoyce,
|
And never fear for Dying.
|
They'll Hereticks no Quarter grant;
|
Both Faith and Charity they want.
|
Then Live or Dye, be never Faint;
|
Nor have a thought of flying.
