France Out-witted:
OR
The Duke of Richmond's
Welcome into ENGLAND.
Licensed according to Order. Tune of, March Boys, etc.
|
LET joyful Acclamations give,
|
A Welcome home to Richmond's Duke,
|
Whose noble Presence does revive,
|
The Hearts of all who on him look;
|
His youthful Grace so prevail,
|
And pleasure all that come before him;
|
His Princly Glories so excel,
|
Each charming Beauty does adore him.
|
Richmond, Richmond, Noble young Richmond,
|
He hath too Cunning been for France,
|
Which greatly doth the Fame advance,
|
Of Richmond, Richmond, noble young Richmond.
|
He joyful News from France doth bring,
|
And tells us how their Forces dread,
|
The Glorious Actions of our King,
|
Which over all the World are spread.
|
He all their base Intentions tells,
|
Which France designs against our Nation,
|
Their Treacherous Actions he reveals,
|
To further Englands Preservation.
|
Richmond, Richmond, Noble young Richmond,
|
He hath too Cunning been for France,
|
Which greatly doth the Fame advance,
|
Of Richmond, Richmond, noble young Richmond.
|
Riches amongst the French he got,
|
Securely lodg'd within his Hand,
|
Which he to England now has brought,
|
To spend it nobly in our Land.
|
He's bubl'd France by his Device,
|
And gain'd such lasting Reputation;
|
Noble Richmond prov'd too wise,
|
For all their French Insinuation.
|
Richmond, Richmond, Noble young Richmond,
|
He hath too Cunning been for France,
|
Which greatly doth the Fame advance,
|
Of Richmond, Richmond, noble young Richmond.
|
Let France no more their Cunning boast,
|
Or we their dull Contrivance fear,
|
Since now they know it to their Cost,
|
They'r bubled by an English Peer.
|
The Court of France so gay and fine,
|
In Jewels now appears but slender:
|
Richmond by his great Designe,
|
Has fairly strip'd them of their Splendour.
|
Richmond, Richmond, Noble young Richmond,
|
He hath too Cunning been for France,
|
Which greatly doth the Fame advance,
|
Of Richmond, Richmond, noble young Richmond.
|
The Riches that our Nation lost,
|
By Female Cunning heretofore,
|
The Ocean back again has crost,
|
To lodge upon the English Shoare.
|
Young Richmond by his early Wit,
|
Has brought such Tribute back to Cesar:
|
And when fair Portchmouth hears of it,
|
The noble Action sure must please her
|
Richmond, Richmond, Noble young Richmond,
|
He hath too Cunning been for France,
|
Which greatly doth the Fame advance,
|
Of Richmond, Richmond, noble young Richmond.
|
Then let's commend the noble Duke,
|
Who thus deceiv'd deceitful France,
|
And such an Action undertook,
|
His Native Country to advance:
|
His Game he wisely sure must play;
|
To put his Designe in Execution,
|
For what the Duchess took away,
|
The Duke has made us restitution.
|
Richmond, Richmond, Noble young Richmond
|
He hath too Cunning been for France,
|
Which greatly doth the Fame advance,
|
Of Richmond, Richmond, noble young Richmond[.]
