The Prince of ORANGE Welcome to LONDON . To the Tune of , The two English Travellers .

London

P. of Orange .

THe Prince Van Orange he is come to this Land , Who does in defiance of Popery stand : He does not desire Supream for to Reign , But our Laws and Liberties here to maintain . Which some evil Persons did strive to Invade , And we into Bondage might have been betray'd ; We see all their dealings , which troubl'd us sore , The Fryars and Iesuits dayly came o're . In City and Town they did Mass-houses build , Which was with poor ignorant Proselites fil●'d ; The Proverb of old is made true in this case , We see that an ill Weed will flourish apace . They still are inventing and forging of Lyes , Against our Bible and Clergy likewise ; In hopes they might suddenly be overthrown , And then they concluded the Game was their own . The Bishops away to the Tower was sent , As stout and as chearful as Martyrs they went ; Not fearing what ever might fall to their doom , They scorn to submit to the Clergy of Rome . Now while the true Church thus did tottering stand , It was a great grief to most Men in this Land : But while we with sorrowful sighings did grieve , Each Fryar and Iesuits laught in their Sleeve . And Old Father Peters was one of the Train , Who did for a while in his Roguery Reign ; But Fortune was pleased to send him a Frown , And from his high Honour to tumble him down . Now seeing himself in this sorrowful case , He thought it no boot to remain in this place ; And therefore his Breetches with Guinnies he lin'd , In order for running some shelter to find . Now while he was taking this dangerous flight , He pray'd to Saint Francis and Bridget all night ; But yet not withstanding his Religious Prayer . He was taken napping as Moss catcht his Mare . There is many more as we well understand , Wishes that they were safe out of the Land ; They 'd rather leave Brittain , and flye to the Pope , Than here to take part of the Hatchet and Rope . And now to return to the Prince Van Orange , Whose cost , care and Conduct , has wrought this great change This Nation from Thraldom I hope he 'l set free , And then there will none be more happy than we . And now let us drink a good Health to the Mitre , And may that Church flourish , tho' enemies spight her Next Health to that Seven that stood by out Cause , As stout as our Martyrs , as just as our Laws . God bless all the Nobles , Religious and Iust , Who always was faithful and true to their Trust : I hope they will settle this Nation again , That we may ne'r have any cause to complain . And when a Free Parliament shall Regulate And Compose our Fractions in matters of State , The Ioys of this Nation again to restore , Then both King and People may flourish once more . FINIS .
