F.H. Van. Hove . Scu●… To the T●… of Lilli Bullero .

The First Part ( 1. ) COme all that wish well , to th' Land where we dwell , With Wool and Silk-workers , sing and rejoice ; While those ●…y be sad , who have ruin'd our Trade , With Thanks and great Praise let 's lift up our Voice ; Our Voices let 's raise , to th' wonderful Praise Of William our King , for his Royal Consent . To this Happy Thing , for which we now sing Praise God and our King , and our good Parliament . ( 2. ) Let Hatters and Drapers , so down to Shooe-makers , With all who sell Drink , or Provisions vend , With Plowmen and Sailors , and all ( except Goalers , Or East-India Traders , ) Their Thanks to Heaven send ; For Passing this Bill , their Pockets will fill , And Tenants will better pay Landlords their Rent ; Therefore let them sing , with us in this Ring , Great Praise to our King , &c. ( 3. ) Ah , how many Years , have we been in Tears , Greatly lamenting our Sorrowful State , While th' East India-Trade , great Spoil on us made , And by our Undoing grew wond'rous Great : But now God be prais'd , we may see good Days ; Our Ruine we hope this Bill will prevent : And therefore we sing , for this Happy Thing , Great Praise to our King , &c. ( 4. ) This Nation now see , what great Misery Is coming on them by this India-Trade ; That Two Millions's sent , in Two Years to be spent , Which make our wise Senators strangely affraid , Lest what they 're doing , prove this Kingdom 's Ruine , Which Mischief this Bill is design'd to prevent : For which we now sing , Hi ding a ding ding , Great Praise to our King , &c. ( 5. ) For this Bill be'ng past , they 'll not send so fast , Which Coin will increase , and encourage our Trade : In Gratitude bound , we 'll always be found , To defend their just Rights ' gainst those that invade ; And from our good Prince , let ne'er a Man flinch , Or utter or mutter the least Discontent ; But in this round Ring , let 's merrily sing , Drink a Health to our King , &c. ( 6. ) We remember with Grief , when we sought Relief , Our Senators were well inclin'd to our Ease ; But some ill advis'd , in Tumults did rise , Which certainly then did ruine our Case : But since they 're grown wife , such Riots despise , For future such Meetings we 'll strive to prevent ; For we hate that ill Thing , which much Sorrow did bring , And displeas'd our King , &c. ( 7. ) The Heavens now smile , on the Face of this Isle , And Trading will flourish as it did before . If our Ladies are kind , their own Intrest mind , They 'll soon give Imployment to their own Poor , And by it they 'll gain , as appear very plain , When those are imploy'd , will raise all their Rent ; For Lands more Rent bring , while w'eat , drink , and sing , And praise our good King , and our good Parliament . ( 8. ) Some Women , we 're told , are angry and scold , Resolve to buy up and wear India Stuff , In ' spite of our Laws , and pitiful Cause ; Talk of Restraining , they 're angry , and huff : But we hope they 'll grow wise , in Time and despise To use what destroy their Poor , Coin , and Rent , And with us will sing , for this Happy Thing , Great Praise to our King , &c. ( 9. ) But when all is said , we 're yet much affraid Their Fancies their Reasons will overpower ; So that they 'll still wear , what 's far-fetch'd , tho' dear , And our Wealth and Trade thereby much devour : But if they 're so vain , 't will appear very plain , They are on their Country's Ruine still bent ; And that 't is a Thing , which great Loss will bring , And displease our King , &c. ( 10. ) Our Princess , Heav'n prais'd , our Hopes has much rais'd , Since , for Preventing so ill a Design , She 's graciously said , she 'll encourage our Trade , In English Silks then our Court will soon shine : For which in Her Praise , while our Voices we raise , Her Fame for this thing , through the World will be sent : Her Glories we 'll sing , drink her Health in this Ring , And praise our good King , &c. ( 11. ) And since She 's so kind , Her Example let 's mind , And firmly ingage , by joining our Hands , To Promote and Wear , what plainly appear To be for the General Good of this Land . Thro' th' Land let it run , and th' work is soon done , And from such engagement let 's never recant , But stand to this Thing , which much Gain will bring To this Kingdom and King , &c. ( 12. ) In a Bumper of Beer , or such Drink as is here , To conclude , let 's drink-one General Health ; 'T is a Health t' all those , who 're clad in such Cloaths , As incourage our Trades , and Old England 's Wealth ; And they that refuse , deserve Wooden Shooes , Or else to go bare-foot until they Recant ; While we merrily sing , and make the Skies ring , With Long live our King , and our good Parliament .

The Second Part. ( 1. ) HAv'ng in our First Part shew'd th' Joy of our Heart , For Passing this Bill , our Gratitude shown ; Let 's farther declare , to all that will hear , Such Matters of Fact as are fit to be known , That all Folk may see , the Necessity T' use their Endeavours , and join to prevent The wear of such Things , which great Mischief bring T' this Kingdom and King , and our good Parliament . ( 2. ) Long since we were told , how Silver and Gold , And Bulliön was sent out to purchase our Ruine ; How our Workmen went , and our Patterns were sent , The better to bring on our utter Undoing : To ease our great Grief , we oft sought Relief , And with Complaints to our Senators went ; But now in this Ring , we merrily sing , Great Praise to our King , &c. ( 3. ) For they 've heard our Case , and giv'n us some Ease , Our Hopes have reviv'd , and mended our State ; While our Indian Foes , in Numbers up-rose , With Noise and Clamour against us did prate , Our just Case prevail'd , and their Designs fail'd , At which their Passion and Folly they vent , Whilst we merrily sing , Hi ding a ding ding , And praise our good King , &c. ( 4. ) The French , Edicts made , to discourage this Trade , So that they bring Home much Silver and Gold ; While we send our Bullion , to spoil Silk and Woollen , They 'll suffer no Printing , nor Printed Stuffs sold : The Dutch too grow wise , this Trading despise , Their Eight Ships brought less than One which we sent : Did we the same thing , much Gain it would bring To this Kingdom and King , &c. ( 5. ) In King Charles's Reign , we then did complain , For our Trade in his Time was oft very dull ; But what we design'd , they then undermin'd , All we gain'd was an Act to bury our Wool ; Which small Relief yield , while the Nation they fill'd With Silks and Chints , which at Court they present : By Bribes or like thing , in Fashion they bring , Which might please the King , tho' not Parliament . ( 6. ) It has been declar'd , as we have oft heard , These Traders once fear'd to bring in Wrought Wares , Or send out Bullion , to ruine our Woollen ; But now they 're grown Great , and got over such Fears : For they 've sent Treasure , in wonderful measure To bring Home such Goods as Trading supplant : For stopping this Thing , we now merrily sing , Great Praise to our King , &c. ( 7. ) To get a Law made ; the New Dons then said , That th' Old drove a Trade to this Kingdom 's Ruine ; Since they 've gain'd their Act , 't is Matter of Fact , They 're the like Method and Measures pursuing : For the Eagle declare , how they were sincere , What we must expect , if such Goods here be spent ; For the Cargoe she bring , put forward the Thing , For which we praise our King , and our good Parliament . ( 8. ) If a Million be sent , Yearly to be spent In Wares that supplant our Silk and Wool Trade , 'T will hinder of Poor , half a Million , or more , Might be imploy'd here , supported and fed , Besides as great Train , these Workers maintain , B' all the Provisions which by them are spent , For stopping this Thing , which such Ruine bring , We praise our good King , &c. ( 9. ) While we joy for Relief , 't is matter of Grief , To think what great Numbers yet of our Poor , As Makers of Fans , Pots , Tables and Stands , Japanners and Limners , and Multitudes more , Who will be undone , and their Country run , If b' Law or Example , we do not prevent The use of such Things , which such Mischief bring To this Kingdom and King , &c. ( 10. ) What troubles us more , is what is brought o'er , Tho' it doth not excel , or come near us in kind , How fond of their Ware , tho' never so dear , Are too great Numbers of our Women-kind , Which shews very plain , they 're still very vain , Whose fanciful Humours are so much bent On East-India things , which such Mischief bring To this Kingdom and King , &c. ( 11. ) But e're we do end , our Song we intend To remember all those , stood up for our Case , With Zeal and Good Will , did bring in the Bill , And th' rest of our Friends that gain'd us this Ease , And all those who wear , what plainly appear To th' advance of our Trade , and Lands in their Rent : Their Praises we 'll sing , drink their Health in this Ring , And praise our good King , &c. ( 12. ) And now we have done , t' our Works let us run , For fresh Supply let us work on our Trade ; If we spend our Store , we can work for more To purchase good Drink , good Meat , and good Bread ; And as for all those , that do us oppose , We wish them no ill , but hope they 'll repent , And forbear to deal in , what such Ruine bring , While we work , and sing , and praise our good King , &c.
