THE
City and Countrys Loyalty;
OR,
The Gallant Resolution of the Kingdom to Defend the same against the Invasion
of the French, Voluntarily Engaging thmeselves in the Defence of King William
Queen and Mary. To the Tune of, Valiant Jockey, etc.
|
LEt the Trumpets sound a Charge,
|
While we our Forces do inlarge,
|
To Engage the common Enemy;
|
Boys, well either win the day or dye:
|
All the Counties far and near,
|
In shining Armour now appear,
|
With a Resolution will they stand,
|
To defend and Guard their Native Land:All will Unite, and freely Fight,
|
For to put the Romans now to flight;
|
Better Advance, there take our chance;
|
Than to bear the heavy Yoke of France.
|
Tho the Frenchmen Landed are,
|
We for their coming did prepare,
|
Shewing them such welcome to the Shore,
|
Which they never did expect before:
|
None shall ere return again,
|
For with our Valiant Warlike Train;
|
We will Ring the Rogues a Passing-Bell,
|
Sending them with speed to Plutos Cell;
|
Well never flinch, from the proud French,
|
Till we cut them off, both Root and Branch;
|
Why shoud we fear, huffing Monsieur,
|
Valiant Courage soon the Coast will clear.
|
The Stout Valiant Men of Kent,
|
All with a Resolution bent,
|
Did ingage to meet this Mighty Foe,
|
Surry, Sussex, did the like also:
|
When the French did understand,
|
That they would thus defend the Land;
|
They were forced straight to hoise up Sail,
|
Knowing that they should not there prevail:De French-men said, me are afraid,
|
If deir Kingdom here we should Invade,
|
Youthful and Sage, all will Ingage,
|
Not a French-man will escape deir Rage.
|
Then they Steered to the West,
|
Which Shires as well as all the rest,
|
Was resolvd to let the French-men know,
|
That they should not unrewarded go:While they Anchord in Torbay,
|
The Beacons Fird was straightway,
|
Which allarumd all the Counties round,
|
Loyal Boys with double Courage Crownd:No frightful Crys, all straight did rise,
|
That they might the French-men soon surprize;
|
Both Rich and Poor, flockd to the Shore,
|
Twenty thousand Fighting-men and more.
|
London likewise will maintain,
|
For our Defence a Warlike Train,
|
Valiant Men of Courage, Foot and Horse,
|
That they may the wretched Romans cross:Though the Factious seem to Frown,
|
Well pull their haughty Spirits down:
|
For our Gracious King and Queen well Fight,
|
Putting all their Enemies to flight:The Royal Fleet, Boys, well compleat,
|
Which will make the French-men soon Retreat;
|
Both Land and Main, we will maintain,
|
Till our Gracious King returns again.
