A Congratulatory POEM On King WILLIAM's Victories in Ireland , and his Happy Return into England .

portrait of King William III (William of Orange) W R GULIELMVS III. D. G. ANGLIAE SCOTIAE FRANCIAE & HIBERNIAE REX F. D.

WHen French like Locusts spread the Irish Coast , And Teague could justly of his Numbers boast , Sad was the Winter , heavy the Campagn , Shockt with Distempers and Tempestuous Rain ; Tents were our Tombs , and Men lay dead unslain : Not the great Schomberg could Resistance yield , But Death reign'd Conquerour and kept the Field . WILLIAM alone could War and Fate command ; Victorious Caesar has subdu'd the Land . Hence , Mighty Prince , — I 'll never scruple Transmigration true , Since Alexander's Soul survives in you , His Conduct , Courage and his Fortune too . What Sobietzky at Vienna got , All that Lorain with Toyl and Time e're fought , Admits no Ballance ( were it duly weigh'd ) With what King WILLIAM's daring Arms have made . Their Cause was Intrest and the Papal See ; His , True Religion , Laws and Liberty . Long and uncertain steps their Ends attain'd , Whilst nothing here , but Vidi , Vici , reign'd . At his approach th' affrighted Rebels run , Like flying Mists before the rising Sun . Dublin rejoyc'd to quit her Copper Coyn , When Caesar forc'd the Passes of the Boyn : Thunder and Lightning from his Cannon flew ; Not storms of Rain , but streams of Blood ensue : Drogheda quitted on the first Alarm , Duncannon , Waterford , pursue the Charm , And all submit to his victorious Arm : An Arm on which the Foe with wonder gaz'd , An Arm at which the Battail stood amaz'd , At which the Bullet trembled when it graz'd . Heavens bless the Victor ! May his Triumphs rise Till Angels guard him to his native Skies . And now with grateful Hearts and willing Hands , England receives him from the Irish Bands . And tho' the Empire courts him , Holland more , To act as General on a foreign Shore ; Unwillingly we wish his Grandeur shown , Unless his Person still supplies the Throne . FINIS .
