COme listen awhile to the Lines which I bring, Of the Royal Progress of James our good King, Which unto the West he was pleased to take, And of the great Mirth that his Subjects did make; Through e'ry City and Town where he came, Attended with Nobles and Persons of Fame: Rejoycing they pray for the King and his Train, God send him a long and a prosperous Reign. Then bidding the Castle of Windsor adieu, And coming to Portsmouth in order to view The Fortifications of that Royal Fort, And likewise as we have by perfect report, He Touch't for the Evil, so tender was he, Of his Loving Subjects of e'ry degree: While Thousands rejoycing, they cry'd our again, God send him a long and a prosperous Reign.
O then in his Yatch, our Royal Great James, Did pass over Neptune's curled Silver Streams; At Bath in short time, our Great Prince did arrive, Where every Subject in person did strive, To pay their Allegiance with Loyal Respect, And pray that the Heavens may always protect Our Mighty Great Monarch and his Princely Train, In Peace, with a flourishing prosperous Reign. From thence to the City of Glouster he came, Where all the Greet Persons their joys did proclaim, The more their magnanimous Triumph to show, Their Conduits with plenty of Wine then did flow; Their Caps up they fling, while their Knees on the ground King James's good Healthy they Drank merrily round: With loud Acclamations all struck in a strain, God send him a long and a prosperous Reign.
To Worcester then our Prince went with speed, Where once many brave Loyal Soldiers did bleed, With Lords, Dukes and Earles, such Men of Renown, Which Fought for the King for maintaining the Crown: When there they beheld him, they then did rejoyce, And all with a noble, unanimous Voice, Crying God bless great James and his Princely train, And send him a long and a prosperous Reign. To Ludlow and Shrewsbury then he did ride, Nay Whitchurch and Chester, to Newport [beside,] To Litchfield and Boscobel-House, then also To the Royal-Oak he was pleased to go, To see the Remains of the Prosperous Tree, The Refuge of Charles of late blest Memory, Who Heaven in mercy was pleas'd to ordain, In his Fathers Kingdom and Throne for to Reign. The City of Coventry then in short space, Our Prince with his presence was pleased to grace, The Mayor with his Aldermen meeting the King, The Town was in Triumph, while Bells they did ring: All Hearts were transported with freedom and joy, The Musick they made it was Vive Le Roy, To drink his good Health there was none wou'd refrain, But pray'd for his long and most prosperous Reign. To Banbury then our Soveraign came, And after to Oxford that City of Fame, Who was not behind hand with none of the rest, Their joy and their triumph cannot be exprest, No Prince ever met with such Subjects before, Then our Great Monarch whom all do adore: To drink his good Health, there's none will refrain, To pray for his long and most prosperous Reign. At length to the City of Bristow also, Our King with his Queen and his Nobles did go, Where hundreds and thousands together did throng, To see in what glory they passed along, The greatest of Triumph atended the day, No City in England more Loyal than they, All fling their Caps, and did cry our amain, God send them a long and a prosperous Reign.
