THE
Civil ORANGE:
OR, THE
United Hearts of England.
Being the Couragious Protestant Boys Resolutions against the Enemies
of the Church and State.
To the Tune of, Now, now the Fight's done.
|
(1)
|
NOw now all our doubts and our troubles are clear'd,
|
And every Protestants Heart may be cheer'd;
|
For here is brave Orange that Sail'd o're the Seas,
|
Which gives to all Souls in the Nation much ease,
|
He venter'd his Life in this Nations defence,
|
Oh still let us prize this true Protestant Prince.
|
(2)
|
The Glory of Brittain begins to appear,
|
And Protestants may be releas'd from all fear;
|
The Romans we now do resolve to run down,
|
We fear not their Malice, altho' they may frown;
|
An Army we have that will drive them from hence,
|
And bravely fight under a Protestant Prince.
|
(3)
|
What danger did seem for to threaten this Land,
|
While Rome and her Agents contending did stand?
|
They reckon'd that Protestants must be subdu'd,
|
But they shall no longer this Nation delude,
|
Our thund'ring Cannons shall Papists convince,
|
While here we fight under a Protestant Prince.
|
(4)
|
Let every Soul lay his hand on his Heart,
|
And rather with Life, nay, and all Riches part,
|
Then once to appear in a Cowardly strain,
|
Since such a brave Hero fail'd over the main,
|
Let's stand by his side in the Nations defence,
|
For he's a most noble brave Protestant Prince.
|
(5)
|
It is not Tyrconnel, nor each Popish Slave,
|
That e're shall be able this Land to out-brave;
|
Should it be our Fortune with them to engage,
|
They shan't live to tell was done in this Age:
|
Our Noble Commanders are Persons of Sence,
|
And we'll all fight under this Protestant Prince.
|
(6)
|
We know if they could but a full Conquest make,
|
We certainly soon should be brought to the Stake;
|
According to what they have done heretofore,
|
They dearly thirst after true Protestants Gore;
|
But now having Power to drive them from hence,
|
We'll make them all quake at a Protestant Prince.
|
(7)
|
If need should require an absolute aid,
|
There's hundreds and thousands of every Trade,
|
That freely would leave all their Callings to fight,
|
With Courage to maintain the Protestants right,
|
And drive all the Treacherous Enemies hence,
|
So long as we have a true Protestant Prince.
|
(8)
|
Some Persons of late they did strive with the stream,
|
And meerly led on by a fair Golden Dream,
|
And never consider what might be their Doom,
|
By acting so much for the Agents of Rome;
|
Oh! how they reflect on their former Offence,
|
And tremble at feeling a Protestant Prince.
|
(9)
|
Brave Orange he does a Free Parliament call,
|
In order to give satisfaction to all.
|
That while great Concerns they do fairly Debate,
|
Great Brittain may flourish both in Church and State,
|
And Popery utterly hurry'd from hence,
|
Since we do enjoy a true Protestant Prince.
|
(10)
|
All Protestant Souls will together Unite,
|
And like Noble Hero's will valliantly fight,
|
Before we will unto our Enemies yield,
|
We all our resolved to dye in the Field;
|
Our Courage is able the World to Convince,
|
We'll fight by the side of a Protestant Prince.
|
(11)
|
Great Brittain and Hollands each flourishing Fleet,
|
As soon as they're fitted and perfect compleat,
|
Will Challenge our Foes to fight on the Main
|
Shou'd France have the mighty Armado of Spain:
|
The Noise of our Canons shall send them from hence,
|
And show them the strength of a Protestant Prince.
|
|
FINIS.
