The Loyal WISH:
Being a Congratulation of the Happy Return of His Majesty
to England ; together with His Magnanimous Triumph
over the Poor Teague-Landers .
To a New Play-House Tune, called , Let the Soldiers rejoyce.
|
I.
|
LEt our Subjects Rejoyce
|
With their hearts, and loud voice,
|
And Carouze in a He-e-e-e-e-ealth to K. William ,
|
Who with his Army stout,
|
Put poor Teague to the Rout,
|
And so fairly, so fairly in Triumph did kill 'em.
|
II.
|
Drums, Trumpets, and Guns
|
Make a noise; (Dear Joy runs,)
|
And Welcome home E----ngland 's Defender,
|
Who went himself to Fight,
|
'Gainst the proud Jacobite ,
|
And so fiercely, so fiercely repell'd that Pretender.
|
III.
|
Let us all the Night long
|
Take delight in this Song,
|
Of the praise of King Will-ll-ll-ll-lliam before us;
|
Let him look like an Ass,
|
That won't Drink off his Glass,
|
And unite, and unite, and unite in the Chorus.
|
IV.
|
All Hearts that well wish,
|
Let 'em drink like a Fish,
|
'Tis a Protestant He-e-e-e-ealth that goes round Boys,
|
We'll drink off our Wealth,
|
In his Majesty's Health,
|
And the Devil, the Devil his Foes may confound Boys.
|
V.
|
Let the Rebels come in,
|
And be true to our King,
|
Who by Success and Cou-ou-ou-ou-ourage invites 'em,
|
Those that will refuse
|
Whilst they may, let them chuse,
|
The dread Name, the dread Name of K. William shall fright 'em
|
VI.
|
Had King William been here,
|
When we met with Mounsieur ,
|
Our Shipping they'd ne-ee-e-e'r been so rended,
|
But now He is come;
|
Let us welcome him home,
|
And we doubt not, we doubt not but all shall be mended.
|
VII.
|
Now poor Teague is undone,
|
And put to the run,
|
What need we fear Ja-a-a-a-cobites Landing;
|
E're long we'll advance,
|
Up to Bougra le France ,
|
And we'll teach him, we'll teach him to come here Commanding.
|
VIII.
|
Let us therefore with Joy,
|
Sing Vive-le-Roy ,
|
Let the Bells ring, and the Bo-o-o-onfires flame. Boys,
|
We'll drink as we stand,
|
With our Hats in our Hand,
|
And we'll hollow, we'll hollow K. William 's Great Fame Boys
|
