<L>AH! Can he go and no one &s;hed a Tear</L>
<L>For him, who never thought his Life too dear</L>
<L>To hazard, to protect us from our Foes;</L>
<L>As his late Victories in <HI>Scotland</HI> &s;howes.</L>
<L><HI>Holland</HI> and <HI>France,</HI> will Trumpet forth his Fame,</L>
<L>Until they each of them &s;hall want a Name.</L>
<L>And &s;hall we be le&s;s Grateful to that Prince,</L>
<L>Who&s;e daily Actions does the World convince?</L>
<L>Are only &s;quared for the common good,</L>
<L>For which he'le venture Fortune, Life and Blood</L>
<L>Let Prote&s;tants a &s;orrow now contrive,</L>
<L>To &s;hew his ab&s;ence they can &s;carce Survive.</L>
<L>Let <HI>England</HI> lament untill it be,</L>
<L>Turned into a weeping <HI>Niobe;</HI></L>
<L>And with their &s;ervent Sighs keep full his Sails,</L>
<L>With Loyal, &s;afe, and the mo&s;t pro&s;p'rous Gayls,</L>
<L>And let their Tears into the Sea re&s;ort,</L>
<L>To waft him &s;afely to his Royal Port.</L>
<L>And may their daily prayr's to Heaven be,</L>
<L>That he may &s;cape all Dangers of the Sea.</L>
<L>May his mo&s;t Royal Father live to &s;ee,</L>
<L>Him or'e his Foes obtain &s;ole Victory.</L>
<L>And be a pattern to his Royal Son,</L>
<L>In what he hath &s;o worthily begun.</L>
<L>And may he in due time with all renoun,</L>
<L>Enjoy the Favours <HI>Fortune</HI> tumbles down.</L>
<L>May this, and all the happine&s;s that can,</L>
<L>Be bounded in the boundle&s;s heart of Man,</L>
<L>Attend the Noble <HI>Monmouth.</HI> May he be,</L>
<L>Still our Defence, and Scourge to Popery.</L>
<L>May thy Great Soul Great Prince like active Fire,</L>
<L>The more depre&s;t, more vig'rous and ri&s;e higher.</L>
<L>Which like a Ball thrown hard again&s;t the Ground,</L>
<L>Ri&s;es much more, upon a fair rebound.</L>
<L>May &s;till the Charms of thy Eternal Fame,</L>
<L>Convince thy Foes of an immortal &s;hame.</L>
<L>May thy high Actions of thy Great Renoun,</L>
<L>Shake and de&s;troy the <HI>Roman</HI> Triple Crown.</L>
<L>May Heav'n and Earth both thy po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ions be,</L>
<L>And may thy Bli&s;s la&s;t to Eternity.</L>
<L>Great Prince and Patron, now we mu&s;t &s;ubmit,</L>
<L>Our pre&s;ent Lives, to what the Fates think fit.</L>
<L>Yet this we boldly dare affirm as true,</L>
<L>None but your Royal Father, Sir and you,</L>
<L>Can keep our half dead ga&s;ping &s;ouls alive,</L>
<L>He whil'&s;t he lives, and you whil'&s;t you &s;urvive.</L>
<L>May our Great God protect his happy Reign,</L>
<L>To &s;ee you once return with Joy again;</L>
<L>To be A&s;&s;i&s;tant to the Royal Will,</L>
<L>Of our Dear Sov'raign, Faith's Defender &s;till.</L>
<L>Which Princely <HI>Monmouth</HI> we with Tears implore,</L>
<L>Daily and Hourly, at Heav'ns Chri&s;tal Dore.</L>
<L>Our Pray's &s;hall never cea&s;e, until God grants,</L>
<L>This Chri&s;tian-wi&s;h of all true <HI>Prote&s;tants.</HI></L>
