King William's Welcome ; Or a Congratulatory POEM on His Majesty's Happy Arriva● ▪ TOGETHER WITH The Mutual Comfort of King and Subject , which is fully demonstrated 〈◇〉 the wise proceedings of the present Parliament in suppressing Vice , associating and uniting the Hearts of His Majesty's Subjects . By W. L. Chaplain to one of His Majesty's Ships . WElcome Great Prince , thrice welcome let it be , Till multiply'd to an Infinity . Awake loud Fame , convey it with all speed To Thames , to Humber and to th' utmost Tweed . Tell them kind Neptune doth at length restore , This noble Trust to the triumphing Shore . Let the strong Currents of their Tydes transgress The bounding Shore , while they their Joy express . Let Neighbouring Coasts joyn in the Harmoney , Till our rejoycing universal be . This tribute he most justly from us claims , Since he our freedom gen'rously maintains , And Yearly doth his precious Life Expose , To boistrous Seas , and the more savage Foes ; His brave Attempts throughout the World renown'd , With bless'd success have ever yet him Crown'd : Just Heav'n assists him in a Cause most right , And him emboldens valiently to fight 'Gainst an Usurping and Tyrannick Power , Which he resists and lessens ev'ry hour . In vain they shatterd Towns re-edifi , And make their Castles with Parnassus Vie . Tho' lofty , they submissively must bend Their stubborn Heads , and be at his command . Valour and Conduct will at once conspire , By Bombs to make their Fun'ral Piles in Fire . So Calais , tho' t is thought impregnable , Was almost by him made irreparable . His Boundless Conquests will extend to thee , Proud Dunkirk are to their Metropoley . 't is not the Sultan's less unhallow'd Hand , Whom the Victorious Emp'rour makes to bend , Will them secure . The better Christian he , Hates their Dishonour and their Treachery , What tho' Perfidious One most shamefully Hath broke the Bonds of Faith and Amity . The Sacred Knot remains inviolable , And still will be in spite of him and Hell , In which United most inseperably , We Devil , French , and Turk , and Pope defy . The cringing Monsieur to 's dishonour craves Peace , so much wish'd for by his wearied Slaves , Whilst daring WILLIAM Valiantly pursues Honour , and all base Proffers he doth refuse , Fix'd in his Warlike Resolution , he Maintains the Antient English bravery . Then why should we with needless Fears , Our minds disturb our ease and quietness . Since he 's arriv'd what needs there to compleat Our Joys , what can our future Hopes defeat . The Faithful and that Wise Septemvirate , Fix'd in the highest magnitude of State , Like the Seven Stars their borrow'd Light re●… To him the Source of Lustre and of Power , While roaring Guns his Safe Return descry , And like tremendous Thunder rend the Sky The joyful Bells do Ring , and an Hussa Doth terminate the happy wish'd-for-Day ; The Night succeeding , Bonfires all do feed , As if a Conflagation should succeed . Who but the senseless murmuring Jacobite , Is not transported at the Joyful Sight . Thy Absence , Noble Prince , tho' well sup●… By the Sage Heptarchs Prudence , Care and G●… Was much deplor'd , on thee our longing Isl●… Was fully bent , but now Return'd , doth sm●… Not Phoebus with his Influential Rays , More bounteous Heat or languid Earth disp●… At thy Return , approaching Hyneus flies , And a perpetual Spring her place supplies . Strange Revolution , if one may presage , We shall enjoy a second Golden Age . Hence all Complaints and needless Jealouses ▪ Which Misers make , the Nations grand Dise●… Penurious thoughts shall ne'r our Souls con●… No Riches like the Riches of the Mind . No grievous Fears our Hearts shall discomp●… Nor terrours of our fierce envading Foes , If thou espouse our just and righteous Cau●… Go to , Great Sir , thy Senate arise conven●… That Loyal Council makes the State serene , Consult their Soveraign's Honour , Subjcts e●… Establish Peace and lasting Happiness By thy Example , and their prudent care , Vice is restrain'd , no wicked Men will dare With impious and unhallow'd Lips propha●… The Great Creator's most adored Name , Nor with injurious Hands no more deface Thy Image to the Nations disgrace : From Hellish Plots thy Person they 'l secure , And with untainted Loyalty innure Thy Kingdom , whilst associated they Do bind themselves and People to obey . No sculking Traytors here shall more abid Nor stain our Isle with barbarous Regicide Just Heaven Protects , and timely will discl●… The Hellish Combination of thy Foes . FINIS .
