The True LOYALIST ; OR , The Obedient SVBJECT A Loyal SONG . To the tune of , Let Caesar live long .

I. LEt Caesar live long , and his temper abide , Who twenty years plentiful seasons has try'd , Let twenty , and twenty , be counted too few , Still every Season consisting of new , Till tir'd with the joys which this world can afford , He retires to be made a more glorious Lord . II. Let a Royal Almanzor great Caesar succed , And England from faction for ever be freed , Through endless succession may his Race ever run , Who by Sea and By Land such wonders has done , May his issue increase , and these nations rule o're , Until ages last period and time be no more . III. Upon our blest Prince , may all blessings increase , And England thus happy , still flourish in peace , For his safety , and life , may his Subjects all pray , And always be loyal , and ever obey , All round the vast Globe may his glories be known , And let fame with her Trumpet declare his renown . IV. May all his great actions increase in us love , And all his proceedings be crowned above , May all in his Kingdoms prove loyal and true , And Faction and folly no longer persue , May his Scepter endure like the Sun that does give , A bright beauty and lustre to all things that live . V. May Angels preserve him that sits at the Helm , And teaches how Rulers should govern a Realm , All Princes in AEurope rehearse his great name , And his Wisdom , and conduct , and Glory proclaim : So happy are we , in our soveraign Lord , That 's so great , good , & just , and so true to his word . VI. While all other Nations are busied in War , While tydings of troubles are brougt from afar , 'T is England ( alone ) rests secure void of fear , Then how happy ! how happy ! we subjects are here , Our obedience , and duty , will teach us to sing , And declare how the Nation is blest in her King . VII . Observe how some Cedar does stretch out his arms , And kindly protects the young trees from all harms ; No Tempest , or Wind , can his friendship remove , He braves all the storms and stands firm in his love , nor the wind hurts with cold nor the sun with his heat For he shades all their beauty , & makes them so sweet VIII . This Royal-high - Cedar is Caesar our King , The trees are his Subjects safe under his wing , What clouds , or what storms , or what winds need we fear When Angels gaurd him , for to guard all us here : Long , long , may he Reign here , whose vertues we'I sing , And now , now Boys , your Bonnets all , God Save the King . FINIS .
