Great BRITTAIN's Joy for her most Gracious Majesty Queen
ANN's being unanimously Proclaim'd through England, Scot-
land, and Ireland; with the Loyalists Health.
To the Tune of an Orange.

Englishman.
NOW England be Merry, and ever Rejoyce,
Since Heaven has made us so happy a Choice,
To govern our Kingdom, and Curb our French Foes;
The Flower de luce shall stoop to the Rose,
By a Stuart.

Our brave English Boys will make the Dogs dance,
To quell the exhorbitant Power of France;
Th' Bug'rers will soon be compelled to own,
They are but as Slaves to Britannia's Crown,
By a Stuart.

Welshman.
Cod pless hur, Cod save hur, hur is a good Queen,
The like since cood Betty hur never has seen,
And now by Saint Tavy, cuts splutter a nails,
Hur now is in hopes of a true Prince of Wales,
From a Stuart.

For hur excellent Majesty, who is so cood,
Hur will willingly Fight, and lose hur Hearts plood,
With Leek in hur Hat, hur will soon go to France,
And with a red Herring make Lewis to dance,
For a Stuart.

Scotchman.
Deel bleen me if Ise his Noddle don't cut,
The old muckle Deel stop Hemp in his Gut,
By my Sol the old pockyfy'd Lewis le Grand
Must expect to be kick'd from his vassaliz'd Land,
By a Stuart.

The Deel break my Craig, if I se'bate him an ace,
Of thumping his Carcass and beating his Race;
By bonny Saint Andrew we need not to fear,
But that we shall maul them before the next Year,
For a Stuart.

Irishman.
Dear Joy, I must tell you my Shalvashion,
Most happy since Ann is made Queen ish our Nashion,
Which makes ush in good Usquebaugh, O, O, hone,
Drink to the shuccess of the true English Throne,
Of a Stuart.

Her Majestish Grash, we will ever adore,
And from our Shaint Patrick always implore
That she may her Enemies Conquer, a gra,
And make the French Tyrant the Shepter obey,
Of a Stuart.

French Hugonet.
Begar she one Woman de very good Heart,
To mak te grand Lewis hambition for smart,
One, tu, tre year she will tumbe him down,
Alle, bave boys let trulily own,
Our great Stuart.

He fight de new Queen, O feuter diable,
For what he not stand agen England is able,
On Monsieur let fall, he one very bad man,
Der Vine we wil drink, and Sing Vive l' Ann.
A fine Stuart.

The Loyalists Health. To the Tune of let
Caesar live long.

Now for joy the blest Ann by three Realms must be Crown'd,

A Health to her Glory by us shall go round,
Long, long may she live, and over us Reign,
So to her Success let's Drink all again,
our Blood like our Wine doth sparkle for Joy,
And our Lives we will venture her Foes to Destroy.
