<L>THO your great <HI>Actions</HI> I need not rehear&s;e,</L>
<L>(They &s;peak your <HI>Worth</HI> beyond my home-&s;pun Ver&s;e,)</L>
<L>Yet <HI>Cu&s;tom</HI> once a Year obliges me</L>
<L>T'applaud your long-experienc'd Loyalty:</L>
<L>Wherefore, Great Sirs, all that's de&s;ir'd by me,</L>
<L>Is, that my Offering may accepted be;</L>
<L>Being made unto you with a free good Will,</L>
<L>Altho I can't pretend to th' Poet's Skill.</L>

<L>When the Bold <HI>French</HI> (la&s;t Year) had an Intent</L>
<L>Us to Invade, the <HI>YELLOW</HI> Regiment</L>
<L>Fir&s;t took up <HI>Arms,</HI> meaning thereby to &s;hew</L>
<L>All Loyal Subjects what they ought to do</L>
<L>For their dear Country, and its Warlike King,</L>
<L>Who&s;e Valour through th' whole Univer&s;e doth ring.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When the Six Reg'ments March'd unto <HI>Hide-Park,</HI></L>
<L>(Each Man accoutred like a Warlike Spark)</L>
<L>You were the <HI>Van,</HI> the Place of Honour due</L>
<L>(Brave Heroes of the <HI>YELLOW</HI>) unto you:</L>
<L>Th' admiring Crowd afforded you Applau&s;e,</L>
<L>Crying, Behold the Glorious <HI>YELLOW</HI> Boys,</L>
<L>Who&s;e Loyalty has ever &s;tedfa&s;t been</L>
<L>Unto our mo&s;t au&s;picious King and Queen,</L>
<L><HI>William</HI> and <HI>Mary</HI> who&s;e great Worth will be</L>
<L>Recorded unto all Po&s;terity.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And when their Maje&s;ties were pleas'd to &s;ay</L>
<L>They'd grace the Triumph of the <HI>Lord Mayor's Day,</HI></L>
<L>The <HI>YELLOW</HI> then was pitch'd upon to be</L>
<L>Their chiefe&s;t Safeguard and Security.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus upon all Occa&s;ions you are free</L>
<L>To &s;ignalize your Zeal and Loyalty</L>
<L>To your Dear Country and His Maje&s;ty.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>For which long may you live, untill you &s;ee</L>
<L>All Enemies to <HI>England</HI>'s Monarchy</L>
<L>Fall down before your Arms and Loyalty.</L>
</LG>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>May &s;acred Heav'n always propitious be</L>
<L>To Great King <HI>William</HI> and his Con&s;ort <HI>Mary,</HI></L>
<L>Is the good Pray'r, and &s;hall be to the End,</L>
<L>Of your mo&s;t faithful Mar&s;hal and your Friend</L>
