I. Since all the World 's in Arms , And full of loud Allarms ; Let Englands Subjects Sing The Praises of her KING , Who Conquers where he goes , And Triumphs o're his Foes ; Then let us all Proclaim Great King William 's lasting Fame II. No Nation is so Blest ; With such a Prince possest , Whose Care does never cease , That we may live in Peace . How Happy might we be , Could Subjects but agree ? Then let us all Proclaim Great King William 's lasting Fame . III. To him our Lives we owe , For him these we 'll bestow : No Forreign-Force we 'll fear , But Fight for England here . Proud France let us pull down , And shake that Tottering-Crown , And let us all Proclaim Great King William 's lasting Fame . IV. Let SEAMEN in the Fleet , Make all the French retreat . Make Mounsteur flee apace , And fear the English Face . Our Warlike-Lads know how To make the French-Men bow . Then let us all Proclaim Great King William 's lasting Fame . V. Our NAVY on the Seas , ( While we are safe at ease ) In Bullets and in Flame , Will raise the English-Name . Our Valour France shall know , By their own overthrow . Then let us all Proclaim Great King William 's lasting Fame . VI. How many were the Plots Of all the Papish-Sots , To Ruine great and small , To take our Lives , and all . Yet these we still enjoy , Which they sought to destroy . Then let us all Proclaim Great King William 's lasting Fame . VII . The King does undertake Great Dangers for our sake : Himself in Person goes To Vanquish Englands Foes , That we may live all here , Securely , void of fear . Then let us all Proclaim Great King William 's lasting Fame . VIII . Let Trumpets every where , To sound his Praise , prepare . Let Subjects Valiant be , And Loyal , and agree : With one Consent and Voice , In him alone Rejoyce ; And let us all Proclaim Great King William 's lasting Fame . IX . Our Wishes let us send , That Heaven may him defend ; Our Armies too , and Fleet , That they the French defeat ; That we may Praise and Sing The Triumphs of our KING : And may always proclaim Great King William 's lasting-Fame . FINIS .
