Illustrious Charles Our Joy, & Heaven's care
For wondrous things designed
By the Almighty Mind,
Things which yet in Embryo are
Reserved for the future Glory
Of your surprizing story
Whose mighty Name
In the immortal Roll of Fame
Times faithful Register shall write
Great Britians greatest Wonder and Delight.
2. Earn.
Methinks I feel Apollo's Fires
Fill every vein
I feel the sacred pain
Which even unartful breasts inspires
Tuneful numbers crow'd to sing
A future glorious King
And like loyal subjects meet
With emulous strife t'express
And in disabus'd Address
To lay their Duty at his sacred feet.
3. Jest.
See how the sprightly Day
Breaks through the cloudy morn,
And does with golden Beams adorn
It's shining way
Shadows an fears and Jealousies
And dismal waking dreams
Those popular tragick Theams
Rais'd to fright poor mortal wights
Like mid-night walks of sprites
Begin to vanish from inlight'ned Eyes.
4. Earn.
Awakened Loyalty does now begin
To raise its drowsie head
Some thought and wished it dead,
And others took it for a sin.
Deceived by pious Cheat
The old Republick Feat
Whose blasting breath was wont to kill
With Poperies Odious Name
And most unspotted Fame
That durst t'oppose her Arbitrary Will,
Whilst the art of seeming good
Religion Property and Laws
Pretenses of the Good old Cause
For want of being understood
Drew on the fatal chain,
And should have done again,
But mighty Charles the Genius of our Isle,
Born to redeem us twice
From the Charming Syren's Voice,
Has broke the cunning Toyle
So closely laid,
By Hydra Commonwealth that Beast of many Head. Both.
Mount glorious Prince, th'impatient Chariot waits
At your triumphant Gates;
Triumphs of Peace more noble far,
Than those of blushing War,
Attend your solemn show,
Each heart and knee will bow,
And Acclamations joyous thunder
Will rend the air asunder,
Whilst on the nimble wings of Day
Trembling Eccho's shall convey
The amazing noise,
And distant shores repeat the doubling voice
A voice whose powerful sound shall wake
Courage in our drooping Friends
And make our pompous Enimies quake
Without envious Fear,
Disappointed of their Ends
When they shall hear
The azure Roof of Heaven ring
Long live and Reign Great Charles our gracious King.
