UNDAUNTED
London-DERRY:
OR,
The Victorious Protestants constant Success against the proud French and Irish Forces.
To the Tune of, Lilli borlero.
Licensed according to Order.
|
PRotestant Boys both valliant and stout,
|
fear not the strength and power of Rome,
|
Thousands of them are put to the rout,
|
brave London-Derry tells 'um their doom:
|
For their Cannons roar like Thunder,
|
being resolv'd the Town to maintain,
|
For William and Mary, still brave London-Derry,
|
will give the proud French and Tories their bane.
|
Time after time, with Powder and Balls,
|
Protestant Souls they did 'um salute;
|
That before London-Derry stout Walls,
|
many are slain and taken to boot;
|
Nay, their noble Duke of Berwick,
|
many reports, is happily tane,
|
Where still they confine him, and will not resign him,
|
till they have giv'n the Tories their bane.
|
Into the Town their Bombs they did throw,
|
being resolv'd to fire the same;
|
Hoping thereby to lay it all low,
|
could they but raise it into a flame;
|
But the Polititious Walker,
|
by an intreague did quail them again,
|
And blasted the glory of French, Teague and Tory,
|
by Policy Boys, he gave them their bane.
|
Thund'ring stones they laid on the Wall,
|
ready against the Enemy came,
|
With which they vow'd the Tories to mawl,
|
whene'er they dare approach but the same:
|
And another sweet invention,
|
the which in brief I reckon to name:
|
A sharp bloody slaughter, did soon follow after,
|
amongst the proud French, and gave 'um their bane.
|
Stubble and Straw in parcels they laid,
|
the which they straightways kindled with speed,
|
By this intreague the French was betray'd,
|
thinking the Town was fir'd indeed:
|
Then they plac'd their scaling Ladders,
|
and o'er the walls did scour amain,
|
Yet strait to their wonder, they were cut in sunder,
|
thus French-men and Tories met with their bane.
|
Suddenly then they open'd the Gate,
|
sallying forth with Vigour and might;
|
And as the truth I here may relate,
|
Protestant Boys did valliantly fight,
|
Taking many chief Commanders,
|
while the sharp fray they thus did maintain,
|
With vigorous courses, they routed their Forces,
|
and many poor Teagues did meet with their bane.
|
While with their blood the Cause they have seal'd,
|
heaven upon their actions did frown,
|
Protestants took the spoil of the Field,
|
Cannons full five they brought to the Town,
|
With a lusty large great Mortar,
|
thus they return'd with honour and gain,
|
While Papists did scour from Protestants power,
|
as fearing they all shou'd suffer their bane.
|
In a short time we hope to arrive,
|
with a vast Army to Ireland,
|
And the affairs so well we'll contrive,
|
that they shall ne'er have power to stand
|
'Gainst King William and Queen Mary,
|
who in the Throne does flourish and reign,
|
We'll down with the faction, that make the distra-ction,
|
and give the proud French and Tories their bane.
