Such acclamations then as were up sent Out of their mouths into the firmament Who were the standers by we must confess Here to the life Our muse cannot Express Such was the greatness of the peoples cry Their very shouts did seem to rend the Sky Such was the greatness of the present throng The Queen her self could hardly pass along And still the burden of their present cry Was Vive la Regne God bless your Majesty She likewise still did for her people pray And this was that which stole their hearts away What er'e shee ask'd they never did deny What er'e they crav'd Shee did as soon reply It shall be done unto your hearts content And passed too by Act of Parliament This Ladies virtues then did shine so bright Like glorious Cynthia in the lightest night And being dead her fame shall yet survive Or'e many Thousands that are yet alive Here I should leave Her but as I do write Her very Name doth help me to indite This then was She Who did the Scepter sway When the stout English bravely won the day Near Tilbury-hope when the proud Spanish Fleet Did boldly come this Nation for to greet But this brave Queen did straightway check their pride Her Heart of Oak serv'd both for Wind and Tyde Her Royal presence on our English Shoar Did make our demy and whole Canons roar Her valiant Sea-men with Sir Francis Drake Did quickly make the Spaniards for to quake The like success we hope e're long to see O're Hogan Mogans that so lofty be Who would supplant us in our present Trade And in our Rights so frequently invade Nor will they strike within our Royal Channel Until we bear them like a water Spannel When as we teach him for to fetch and carry This way or that way or the clear contrary Which we will do when they top-Gallant ride And will not congy by our Vessels side We 'l make them know that English men are such Who scorn to stoop to the insulting Dutch So long as English Blood our Veins do fill We will not buckle to their stubborn will Ungrateful States who have so soon forgot Our former kindness and now heed it not Much like a Thief sav'd from the Gallow Tree Next man he robs perhaps the Judg may be They are the first who lately broke the Peace And now perhaps they melt in their own Grease For doing so and for their wrongs of late Our English Boys may soon give them check mate Our Royal Charles may quickly let them see What 't is t' abuse his sacred Majesty In Print and Pulpit as they oft have done On purpose to Eclipse our rising sun And though we know his temper still is such To be at Peace with these ungrateful Dutch As well as with their Neighbours round about Yet if they come but once to be so stout As to break Truce with him and for to jar He can as soon appear a Man of War Let them take heed least that perchance we see Them once again distressed States to be If they shall want our help we may deny Because of their insulting treachery If we should then but leave them in the lurch We soon may say a dieu unto the Dutch And unto all their jugling tricks of state For which they give the World such cause to prate Of all their actions which to us are known For which some say they will be overthrown Let them remember that Amboyna Blood Cries yet aloud although not understood By these great States and will them overtake Sooner or later when they must partake Of Divine Justice and for ought we know Now is the time wherein our God will shew His Arm against them for those deeds then done
