LEt Caesar live long, and his temper abide, Who twenty years Plentiful seasons has try'd, Let twenty, and twenty, be counted too few, Still every season consisting of new; Till tyr'd with the Joys which this world can afford, He retires to be made a more Glorious Lord.
Let a Royal Almanzo Great, Caesar succeed, And England from Faction for ever be freed; Through endless Succession may his Race ever run, Who by Sea and by Land such wonders has done. May his issue increase, and these Nations Rule o're, Until ages last period, and time be no more.
UPon our blest Prince, may all blessings increase And England thus happy, still flourish in peace, For his safety and Life, may his Subjects all pray, And always be Loyal, and ever Obey; All round the vast Globe may his Glories be known, And let Fame with her Trumpet declare his Renown May all his great actions increase in us love, And all his proceedings be Crowned above, May all in his Kingdoms prove Loyal and true, And Faction and Folly no longer pursue: May his Scepter endure like the Sun, that does give A bright Beauty and Lustre to all things that live. May Angels preserve him that sits at the Helm, And teaches how Rulers should Govern a Realm; All Princes in AEurope rehearse his Great Name, And his Wisdom and Conduct, and Glory proclaim: So happy are we in our Soveraign Lord, That's so great, good, and just, and so true to his word. While all other Kingdoms are busied in War, While tydings of troubles are brought from afar, 'Tis England (alone) rests secure, void of fear, Then how happy, how happy, we Subjects are here: Our obedience and Duty will teach us to sing, And declare how the Nation is blest in her King. Observe how some Cedar does stretch out his arms, And kindly protects the young Trees from all harms, No Tempest or Wind can his friendship remove, He braves all the Storms, and stands firm in his love; Nor the wind hurts with cold, nor the Sun with his heat For he shades all their beauty, and makes them look sweet This Royal high Cedar is Caesar our King, The Trees are his Subjects safe under his Wing; what clouds or what storms, or what winds need we fear When Angels guard him, for to guard us all here; Long, long may he Reign here, whose Vertues we sing, And now, now Boys, your Sonnets all, God save the King.
