Reading edition
Set by Mr. Church.
[Listen]
YE brave Boys and Tars, That design for the Wars, Remember the Action at Vigo; And where ORMOND Commands, Let us all joyn our Hands, And where he goes, may you go, and I go. Let Conquest and Fame, The Honour proclaim, Great ORMOND has gotten at Vigo; Let the Trumpets now sound, And the Ecchoes around, Where he goes, may you go, and I go. Let the Glories be Sung, Which the ORMONDS have won, Long before this great Action at Vigo; They’re so Loyal and Just, And so true to their Trust, That where he goes, may you go, and I go. Old Records of Fame, Of the ORMONDS great Name, Their Actions, like these were of Vigo; And since this Prince exceeds, In his Fore-Father’s Deeds, Then where he goes, may you go, and I go. ’Tis the Praise of our Crown, That such Men of Renown, Shou’d lead on the Van, as at Vigo; Where such Lives and Estates Are expos’d for our sakes, Then where he goes, may you go, and I go. ’Twas the whole Nation’s Voice, And we all did rejoyce, When we heard he Commanded for Vigo; To ANNA so True, All her Foes to pursue, Then where he goes, may you go, and I go. ’Tis the Voice of the Town, And our Zeal for the Crown, To serve ORMOND to France, Spain, or Vigo; So Noble and brave, Both to Conquer and save, Then where he goes, may you go, and I go. To the Soldiers so kind, And so humbly inclin’d, To wave his Applause gain’d at Vigo; Yet so kind and so true, He gave all Men their due, Then where he goes, may you go, and I go. We justly do own, All the Honour that’s won, In Flanders, as well as at Vigo; But our Subject and Theme, Is of ORMOND’s great Name, And where he goes, may you go, and I go. Then take off the Bowl, To that Generous Soul, That Commanded so bravely at Vigo; And may ANNA approve, Of our Duty and Love, And where he goes, may you go, and I go.
