F.H. Van. Hove Scuâ—… To the Tâ—… of Lilli Bullero The First Part 1. COme all that wish well to th' Land where we dwell With Wool and Silk-workers sing and rejoice While those â—…y be sad who have ruin'd our Trade With Thanks and great Praise let 's lift up our Voice Our Voices let 's raise to th' wonderful Praise Of William our King for his Royal Consent To this Happy Thing for which we now sing Praise God and our King and our good Parliament 2. Let Hatters and Drapers so down to Shooe-makers With all who sell Drink or Provisions vend With Plowmen and Sailors and all except Goalers Or East-India Traders Their Thanks to Heaven send For Passing this Bill their Pockets will fill And Tenants will better pay Landlords their Rent Therefore let them sing with us in this Ring Great Praise to our King c. 3. Ah how many Years have we been in Tears Greatly lamenting our Sorrowful State While th' East India-Trade great Spoil on us made And by our Undoing grew wond'rous Great But now God be prais'd we may see good Days Our Ruine we hope this Bill will prevent And therefore we sing for this Happy Thing Great Praise to our King c. 4. This Nation now see what great Misery Is coming on them by this India-Trade That Two Millions's sent in Two Years to be spent Which make our wise Senators strangely affraid Lest what they 're doing prove this Kingdom 's Ruine Which Mischief this Bill is design'd to prevent For which we now sing Hi ding a ding ding Great Praise to our King c. 5. For this Bill be'ng past they 'll not send so fast Which Coin will increase and encourage our Trade In Gratitude bound we 'll always be found To defend their just Rights ' gainst those that invade And from our good Prince let ne'er a Man flinch Or utter or mutter the least Discontent But in this round Ring let 's merrily sing Drink a Health to our King c. 6. We remember with Grief when we sought Relief Our Senators were well inclin'd to our Ease But some ill advis'd in Tumults did rise Which certainly then did ruine our Case But since they 're grown wife such Riots despise For future such Meetings we 'll strive to prevent For we hate that ill Thing which much Sorrow did bring And displeas'd our King c. 7. The Heavens now smile on the Face of this Isle And Trading will flourish as it did before If our Ladies are kind their own Intrest mind They 'll soon give Imployment to their own Poor And by it they 'll gain as appear very plain When those are imploy'd will raise all their Rent For Lands more Rent bring while w'eat drink and sing And praise our good King and our good Parliament 8. Some Women we 're told are angry and scold Resolve to buy up and wear India Stuff In ' spite of our Laws and pitiful Cause Talk of Restraining they 're angry and huff But we hope they 'll grow wise in Time and despise To use what destroy their Poor Coin and Rent And with us will sing for this Happy Thing Great Praise to our King c. 9. But when all is said we 're yet much affraid Their Fancies their Reasons will overpower So that they 'll still wear what 's far-fetch'd tho' dear And our Wealth and Trade thereby much devour But if they 're so vain 't will appear very plain They are on their Country's Ruine still bent And that 't is a Thing which great Loss will bring And displease our King c. 10. Our Princess Heav'n prais'd our Hopes has much rais'd Since for Preventing so ill a Design She 's graciously said she 'll encourage our Trade In English Silks then our Court will soon shine For which in Her Praise while our Voices we raise Her Fame for this thing through the World will be sent Her Glories we 'll sing drink her Health in this Ring And praise our good King c. 11. And since She 's so kind Her Example let 's mind And firmly ingage by joining our Hands To Promote and Wear what plainly appear To be for the General Good of this Land Thro' th' Land let it run and th' work is soon done And from such engagement let 's never recant But stand to this Thing which much Gain will bring To this Kingdom and King c. 12. In a Bumper of Beer or such Drink as is here To conclude let 's drink-one General Health 'T is a Health t' all those who 're clad in such Cloaths As incourage our Trades and Old England 's Wealth And they that refuse deserve Wooden Shooes Or else to go bare-foot until they Recant While we merrily sing and make the Skies ring With Long live our King and our good Parliament The Second Part. 1. HAv'ng in our First Part shew'd th' Joy of our Heart For Passing this Bill our Gratitude shown Let 's farther declare to all that will hear Such Matters of Fact as are fit to be known That all Folk may see the Necessity T' use their Endeavours and join to prevent The wear of such Things which great Mischief bring T' this Kingdom and King and our good Parliament 2. Long since we were told how Silver and Gold And Bulliön was sent out to purchase our Ruine How our Workmen went and our Patterns were sent The better to bring on our utter Undoing To ease our great Grief we oft sought Relief And with Complaints to our Senators went But now in this Ring we merrily sing Great Praise to our King c. 3. For they 've heard our Case and giv'n us some Ease Our Hopes have reviv'd and mended our State While our Indian Foes in Numbers up-rose With Noise and Clamour against us did prate Our just Case prevail'd and their Designs fail'd At which their Passion and Folly they vent Whilst we merrily sing Hi ding a ding ding And praise our good King c. 4. The French Edicts made to discourage this Trade So that they bring Home much Silver and Gold While we send our Bullion to spoil Silk and Woollen They 'll suffer no Printing nor Printed Stuffs sold The Dutch too grow wise this Trading despise Their Eight Ships brought less than One which we sent Did we the same thing much Gain it would bring To this Kingdom and King c. 5. In King Charles's Reign we then did complain For our Trade in his Time was oft very dull But what we design'd they then undermin'd All we gain'd was an Act to bury our Wool Which small Relief yield while the Nation they fill'd With Silks and Chints which at Court they present By Bribes or like thing in Fashion they bring Which might please the King tho' not Parliament 6. It has been declar'd as we have oft heard These Traders once fear'd to bring in Wrought Wares Or send out Bullion to ruine our Woollen But now they 're grown
