COme all Loyal Subjects I pray you draw neer , For here is glad tydings your hearts for to cheer , Now England and Holland doth shake hands again , No more we shall thump it upon the salt Main , The Pike , and the Musquet , the Trumpet , and Drum , Shall all be laid by , now the business is done ; Then let no more Wars in our Nation be nam'd , For now to our comfort the Peace is Proclaim'd . The last February the twenty fourth day , In Holland the Peace was Proclaim'd , and they say , Such loud acclamations of joy there was shown , The like in that Country before ne'r was known , From th' highest to th' lowest their joys did abound , Their sorrows in Brandy most freely they drown'd : Then , &c. The twenty eight day , here in London likewise , We had it proclaimed with shouts and with crys , The Show it was splendid as e're it could be , And all things performed with great gallantry , The Streets and Belconies so thronghed they were , That happy was he could come nigh for to hear ; Then , &c. The rest of the day was concluded with joy , The Bells in all Parishes rung merrily , The Bonefire fl●mes mounted up to the skies , And plenty of liquor was every man's prize , The Rich and the poor did all play their parts , For all were concerned , there was no sad hearts ; Then let no more wars in our Nation be nam'd For now to our comfort a 〈…〉 OVr Merchantmen now they may freely spread sail And Trade to the Indies with a merry gale , The Pickaroon Capers no more they need fear , The Seas shall be quiet , and all shall be clear , With costly rich lading they shall return back , And bring our young Ladies fine toys which they lack , Then let no more Wars in our Nation be nam'd , For now to our comfort the Peace is proclaim'd . The Shopkeepers they shall have Trading good store , And money more plentiful be then before , Their Wares they shall buy at an easier rate , And have better times for to get an estate ; Likewise the poor Tradsmen no more shall be sad , For he shall have work enough to make him glad : Then , &c. The Country-man no more shall complain , For he shall have money come in for his Grain , Their Rents shall be easie , and wealth it shall flow , And they be encouraged to plow and to sow , Nay , that which is more , all their joys to encrease , Before it be long their great Taxes will cease : Then , &c. Poor men shall no more be afraid of a Press , Nor forc'd to leave Children and Wife in distress , They need not hereafter in holes for to lurk , But boldly and freely may follow their work , The Seamen and Souldiers their limbs shall not lose : But briskly and merrily drink of their howse : Then , &c. All neigbouring Nations shall likewise rejoyce , with whom we have comerce for wares that are choice . We shall not repine now for want of a Trade , Which late in this Nation so much was decay'd , For plenty and peace they do always agree , And produce good times , and days of Iubile : Then , &c. Then welcome sweet Peace to our Albion shore , I hope dreadful Wars shall mo●est vs no more , The fruits of our labour with joy we shall reap , And that which was dear we sh●ll now have it chear ; Then let us praise God that such blessings doth bring , And always prove loyal and true to our King ; And let no more Wars in our Nation be nam'd , For now to our comfort the Peace is proclaim'd .
