The Scotch LORDS Welcome to England:
OR
The Union DIALOGUE,
Between a Scotch-man and an English-man, on the Coronation of
Queen ANNE.
To the Tune of, Over the Hills, and far away.
|
English-man.
|
COme let us joyful Anthems raise,
|
And sing together Anna's Praise:
|
The Glorious Work for both is done,
|
'Tis She has fix'd the Union:
|
'Tis She has fix'd the Union,
|
And made the happy Nations One:
|
Then may we all the Blessing find,
|
And Scotch and English Hearts be join'd.
|
Scotch-man.
|
Geud Heaven Bless Her Reign, say I,
|
For I rejoice in 't heartily,
|
And o'er the Hills and far away,
|
I'm come my muckle Thanks to pay:
|
I'm come my muckle Thanks to pay,
|
On this Her Coronation-Day,
|
And may She long enjoy the Throne,
|
And Scotch and English Hearts be One.
|
English-man.
|
In antient Times, as I have heard,
|
Both Nations have in Arms appear'd,
|
When Bloody Battles have been fought,
|
Before the Union it was wrought;
|
Before the Union it was wrought,
|
And happy Anne had ty'd the Knot:
|
But now we shall the Blessing find,
|
When Scotch and English Hearts are join'd.
|
Scotch-man.
|
De'el ta' the Loons that made such stir,
|
And so against the Union were,
|
That fed us with strange fine Tales,
|
And squinted toward the Prince of W---s,
|
And squinted toward the Prince of W--s:
|
But now their muckle Malice fails.
|
And Brittain will the Blessing find,
|
When Scotch and English Hearts are join'd.
|
English-man.
|
Our Trade together we'll maintain,
|
Our Ships shall sail upon the Main:
|
No Land shall be Bless'd as we,
|
While English Hearts and Scotch agree:
|
While English Hearts and Scotch agree,
|
Our Fame shall spread by Land and Sea:
|
Great Britain's Glory there shall shine,
|
Where Scotch and English Arms do joyn.
|
Scotch-man.
|
The muckle De'el stop all their Wems,
|
That deem the French, or Penkin James;
|
For Geud Queen Anne we'll boldly Fight,
|
Where Scotch and English Arms unite:
|
Where Scotch and English Arms unite,
|
We bravely will maintain her Right,
|
No Prince shall be so great as she,
|
While English Hearts and Scotch agree.
|
English-man.
|
The Scottish Lords of late come here,
|
Both Members, and each Noble Peer,
|
To England, as they welcome be,
|
May they in Parliament agree:
|
May they in Parliament agree;
|
To crown the happy Unity.
|
Great Britain's Glory than will shine,
|
When Scotch and English Hearts do joyn.
|
Scotch-man.
|
Well fare the Day it did begin,
|
To prosper under such a Queen;
|
And may they hang that do complain,
|
Or wish it were undone again;
|
Thus while in Union we agree,
|
No Land shall be so Bless'd as we:
|
For which, and for Queen Anne I'll pra[y]
|
When o'er the Hills and far away.
