The PROTESTANTS TRIUMPH : OR , The Prince of ORANGE joyfully Entertained in the City of London . To the Tune of , A Touch of the Times .

THrice Welcome to London , that Renowned Prince , Who freely stood up for the Nations Defence : Nay , when we were sinking and ready to fall , Then did he step in and Deliver us all ; When we on the brink of sad Ruine did stand , 't was done by a M●●hty Miraculous Hand : He but little Blood in this Nation did spill , The Great Prince of Orange may Heaven bless still . He is not Ambitious of wearing the Crown , But still does design to keep Popery down ; And therefore he ventur'd o're Tempestuous Seas , When he might have tarry'd at home at his ease : But 't was for our good , as it well does appear , That he was so Graciously pleas'd to come here : No Trouble nor Danger his Courage could kill , The Great Prince of Orange may Heaven bless still . To stand for Religion is all his Design , His heart is so Gracious , so Good and Divine , And therefore in pity , he came to subdue Those Troubles and Dangers he fear'd wou'd ensue : 't was time to stand up for the Protestant Cause , When as they endeavour'd to make void our Laws ; But yet I do hope they shall ne'r have their Will , The Great Prince of Orange may Heaven bless still . With loud Acclamations he was Welcom'd in , And he does the hearts of all Honest Men win ; While Bells they are Ringing , and Trumpets do sound , The Kings Health and Prince does go merrily round : For I hope that he ne'r will endeavour to wrong Our Monarch Great James , who to us does belong , But settle our Laws by the best of his skill , The Great Prince of Orange may Heaven bless still . The most of his Army we see are inclin'd Vnto a most Noble and Generous Mind ; Behaving themselves here most gallant and brave , Both Silver and Gold in their Pockets they have ; They come not to burthen this Nation at all , But freely they pay for what ever they call ; By which they have purchas'd the Nations Good-will , The Great Prince of Orange may Heaven bless still . There 's each drooping Soul which did formerly grieve , They having much reason , alas ! to believe That Popery over the Nation wou'd spread ; This filled their hearts with much sorrow and dread : And yet when our hopes they were quite at an end , The Lord he in mercy , his Church did defend : Then let e'ry Christian submit to his Will , And pray that the Prince may be Prosperous still . And when a Free-Parliament shall come to Sit , They may not their faithful Allegiance forget , But Act what is Honest , both Vpright and fair , Betwixt James our King , and his People with eare ; That once more in Peace and much Glory , he may Wear the Royal Crown , and the Scepter here Sway ▪ Our Prayers shall be first for to see this great Change , And next for the King , and the Prince Van Orange .
FINIS .
