WORDS for a Musical Entertainment AT THE New-Theatre , IN LITTLE LINCOLNS INN Fields ; ON The Taking of Namur , AND His Majesty's Safe Return . Set to Music by Mr. John Eccles. Written by Mr. Motteux . HAste , Loyal Britons , haste , prepare ; William , Victorious William comes . Sound , sound ye Trumpets , beat ye Drums ; A Martial Sound best greets a Martial Ear. Haste , Loyal Britons , haste , prepare ; William Victorious William comes . How glorious is the Hero's Fate ! As angry Winds encrease a Flame , His Foes but fight to raise his Fame ; And Lewis gain'd but to make William great . How glorious is the Hero's Fate ! Lo ! Namure , which a Pow'r immense Outdid it self to conquer and to fence , Tho throng'd with fierce defying Gauls , To William yields its boasted Walls . In vain its threatning Champions forward move ; Like Mars He dares , and strikes like Jove . See! numberless they come , all Gallia takes the Field ! He Looks , They fly ; He storms , They yield . Thus , Peace and Freedom to bestow , With Thought He orders , and performs with Flame : Fate by his Prudence takes its Aim , And by his Valour strikes the Blow . Proud Lewis , from this Aera date thy fall : These 4 lines a●e not Sung . He who thus conquer'd , soon may conquer all ; Yet toyls but for the World's Repose ; And Tyrants are his only Foes . Grand Chorus ▪ Hail ! Glorious Monarch Britain's Pride , Europe's Prop the World's Delight ! Thus ev'ry year triumphant ride , Till Peace and Freedom crown thy Right .
FINIS .
