The Loyal English Man's WIS[H]
For the Preservation of
The King and Qu[een]
Licensed according to Order.

LET MARY Live long,
She's Vertuous and Witty,
All Charmingly Pritty,
Let MARY Live long,
And Reign many Years.
Now the Clouds is gone o're,
That troubled us sore:
Since the Sun-shine appears,
We shall be Deliver'd,
We shall be Deliver'd
From Fury and Fears.

God bless the KING at Home,
With Laurels to Crown him,
Each Rebel may own him;
And may he Live long
And Reign many Years:
Now the Conquest is plain,
And three Kingdoms Regain'd;
Let his Enemies fall,
Whilst Caesar shall Flourish,
Whilst Caesar shall Flourish,
In spight of 'em all.

All Glorious and Gay,
Let the KING Live forever;
May he Languish never never:
Like Flowers in May,
His Actions smell sweet;

When the Wars are all done,
And he safe in his Throne,
Trophies lay at his Feet,
With loud Acclamations,
With loud Acclamations,
His MAJESTY Greet.

When for Flanders he goes,
May the Enemy fear him,
When e're they come near him;
May he Conquer his Foes
As he did at the Boyn,
May his Army march on,
With the Beat of a Drum,
Whilst Mounsier doth Fly,
The English shall Follow,
The English shall Follow,
And Fght till they Die.

Heav'ns Prosper his Arms,
Both at Home and Abroad
May he always be Lord,
And Guarded from harms
By the Powers above;
May his Enemies all
At his Feet present Fall,
And their Loyalty prove,
Whilst our KING does Enjoy,
Whilst our KING does Enjoy,
Blest MARY in Love.


London, Printed and Sold by T. Moore, 1692.
