A NEW
SONG
UPON THE
CORONATION
of King James II.
To the Tune of King Jamess Jigg.
|
I.
|
NOW, nows the time that our Foes did fear,
|
Our King is Enthron'd in his right sphere:
|
The lofty Cedar the Elme and Oke
|
Doth Flourish, yet every Weeping Rock
|
Bleeds Tears for the times of Yore,
|
Our late Troubles and those before:
|
Now 'th heavens doth smile and those times are ore,
|
The Whigs turn'd Trimmers can Hang us no more.
|
II.
|
Great JAMES our King and MARY is Crown'd,
|
Their Glorys and Splendor the Heavens resound;
|
He'll take no wrong and do Subjects right,
|
And shew them descipline that dares to fight:
|
He hath ventur'd his life by Sea and Land
|
Before all those, under his Command;
|
He's a Coward that will not his life defend,
|
Then drink the King's Health Sir while he can stand/
|
III.
|
A Coronation too high for a Song,
|
Where all the Nobles o'th Nation did Throng;
|
Our God's Annointed, excelling far
|
Aurora, or Aprils Morning Star:
|
The Galexcy's not to be seen,
|
Obscur'd by 'th Lustre of King and Queen
|
In Emulation the Gods have been,
|
In Cannopys over the Royal Scene.
|
IV.
|
We'l leave disputing of Plots and Shams,
|
And never take notice when Otes he Hangs;
|
We'l leave of Whoring unless by fits,
|
When Wine rides Admiral o're our Wits:
|
The Golden Age a new begins,
|
Peace and Plenty our King attends;
|
The smiles of all the heavens descends
|
Upon our dread Sovereign, the best of Kings.
|
V.
|
So great a Monarch was never before;
|
His Royal Protection all princes implore;
|
And every Soldier in all his Guards,
|
A Commissioners office can well discharge,
|
And thinks each Minute an Age to long,
|
Till they are engag'd amongst the Throng
|
O'th' Turks and Teicklets both proud and strong,
|
That 'th Empire may flourish like our Kingdom.
|
VI.
|
Let all Loyal Hearts with Joyes be Crown'd,
|
Each Soul a full Brimmer, and Hat on the ground,
|
With loud Acclamations lets reach the Skies,
|
And drink up our Liquor before it dyes;
|
The Guns did Fire and the Bells did Ring,
|
The Bloom and Blossome of all the Spring
|
Doth flourish and beautifie everything,
|
That Tends the Coronation of JAMES our King.
