England's JOY,
RO,
King William safely Arrived
FROM
FLANDERS.
Tune of, Hark, Hark and yonder. With Allowance.


THE JACOBITES do wonder
To hear the Guns so Thunder,
King WILLIAM is come,
Hear the Beat of the Drum,
And the Trumpets sounding yonder;
All the BELLS do Ring too,
Whilst each LAD,
Whilst each LAD,
Drinks the KING's Health with Hearts full glad,
What ere the JACOBITES do.

King WILLIAM in Flanders,
With bold and brave Commanders,
Did face the French,
Whilst they lay Intrench'd,
Nought could be seen but Standards,
They'r Foot and Horse which fear not
Would not Fight,
Would not Fight,
Some say 'twas Policy out-right,
But others say they dare not.

The Winter Season coming,
Did cause our KING's returning;
At Whitehall He's seen
With our Gracious QUEEN,
And His Subjects all Rejoycing,
Let not the Nation now fear,
Since Ireland
Since Ireland
Is all in brave King WILLIAM's hands,
We value not the Monsieur.

There's Noble Men, and Valiant,
I'm sure that will not fail on't,
To draw the Sword
At our brave KING's word,
'Gainst Lewis that French Tyrant.
And I doubt not but next Campaign
The English may
The English may
In the Heart of France both get the Day,
And the King's health drink in Shampain.

You Protestants Rejoyce All,
Our KING is now at Whitehall,
What need we to care
For those that despair
For the Romish Faction's downfall,
Let them ne're be thought on,
Wh[i]lst we toss
Whilst we toss
Bumpers off to King WILLIAM's Force,
Which ne're will be forgotten.

How happy is that Nation
That's free from Popish Faction,
It's seldom seen
For a KING and a QUEEN
Both of Protestant Profession:
Here's a People Stou and Loyal,
That's Content
That's Content
With our good KING and PARLIAMENT
God prosper long their way all.
