LONDONS WELCOME TO HIS MOST ILLUSTRIOUS HIGHNESS , WILLIAM HENRY , Prince of ORANGE . MOst Serene Prince ! may all the Power 's Divine Add to your Lustre , that you may still shine Throughout the Corners of our English Earth , And give each drooping Spirit a new Birth : That from your Stream of Goodness may both spring Peace to our Nation , Safety to the KING ; And all the Clouds of Horror , Doubts , and Fear , You ( Phoebus-like ) may dissipate and clear Welcome , Great Sir ! England's Metropolis , Greets you with Joy ; may Heaven give you Bliss : And grant , that by your Princely Power , may stand Our true Religion , 'gainst Anti-christian Band ; Free from the threat'ning Terrors of that Arm , Can Murder thousands , and yet do no Harm . Thus let us Live to love Tranquillity , And to the Legal Power subject be : Let Strife and Faction cease , may God defend Our Laws and Liberties unto the end . Defend You also , most Illustrious PRINCE , From all the Attempts of Humane Violence ; And that our England ne'r may want supply From the true Royal Race and Progeny , For to Extirpate ; and exile all Hope Of yielding our Subjection to the POPE . So to our Princely Power we shall bow , And pay unto our Caesar what we owe ; The Gown , the Sword , and the loud Cannon too , Will shew then their Obedience where 't is due ; And with the Protestant Arm of Courage , make The bold Opposers in the Field to quake . Can e're that Hellish Mischief be forgot , Which was intended by the Powder-Plot ? A Horror beyond measure , to have known A Kingdom in a moment Overthrown , Had not the God of Goodness Mercy shown ! Even now our People might have been Surpriz'd With Fire , with Sword ; which Torments were devis'd By Rome's Infernal Engines ; Popish Crew , That think it Meritorious to Undo . This made our Nation droop , Trading decay , Fears , Jealousies and Threatning , drove away The affrighted People , both by Sea and Land : A Kingdom so Divided could not Stand. Thanks to Your Gracious Highness , may You be For ever Happy , and from Danger free : As Heaven sent You hither , so we pray , Heav'n may still Protect You Night and Day . FINIS . By Cyprian Southaick , Gent.
