A Throns Promotions Pyramid, and Kings Are Gods Vicegerants, and the Healthful Springs Whence Judgment both and Equity do flow, To cause the Flowers of Peace and Plenty Grow, Which bear, and yield the Fruits of sweet Content, The Root and Nosegey of a Government. For as the Sun darts forth his Beams and Light, To clear the World from Darkness of the Night; A Gracious King makes Anarchy to Flye, By Justice joynd with Soveraignity. Tis Providence (thats nominated Fate) Guides and Governs all things in Church and State. Promotion and a Kingdoms Royal Crown Comes not by Chance; tis God alone throws down The Proud; Exalting those (who for Defence) Take his decree and sure Omnipotence. Now since the Triumph of this joyful Day Hath turnd the Wheels of an Hyperbole; And Expectation hath conceivd in Vain A Gemini; and Labour without Pain Hath brought forth One, who is (without Contest) Of Royal Blood, and Soveraign Kings the Best: Great JAMES, who with his Conquest of Renown, And Sacred Head, hath honourd Englands Crown; Let all his Subjects sound and eccho forth A Loyal Simphonia to his Worth. The first rate Soveraign that was sadly tost, From Wind to Wave, and was given or for Lost, Twixt Scilla and Charibis, now hath past The Shore of Shipwracks, and Arrivd at last At that safe Harbour, where (tho Billows Rore) No Tempest can prevail against him More. Call and conveen the Hystories of Time, With all the Poems have been Wrote in Rhyme, And all the Hyrogliphicks that have been Twixt Trismegistas and late Guiccardeen: Then let the great Chronologers point forth A Prince that was more Eminent in Worth; For Gratitude (the Glory of a King, The Life of Loyalty, and only thing That Binds a Subject firmly to persist In Truth, to live and Die a Loyallist)
Is his Predominant; he casts an Eye On those who did prove True, when Anarchy Eclipsd the Royal Race; and doth repay Their Deeds and Service, till this very Day. And furthermore, (as tis by all Confest) Our present MARY is of Queens the Best; Tho Malice Judge and Envys Jury Sit Upon her Size, no Blemish sheell admit; Her spotless Reputation doth Defie The rigid Critick of Hypocrecy. Cast all the vertues to one Total worth, Her Sume of partes will point the Product forth. But why should I presume thus to rehearse A Them thats far beyond the reach of Verse; Her innate Candor sendeth forth a Light, Can show her Splendour, in the darkest Night. Her Fames enough her person to extole, And send her praises to the Artick-Pole. And tho blind Mortals now should not her prize, Yet after ages will her canonize. Hence then State-grumbling Criticks get ye gon, With all your prancks of Combination. In Israel the Scismaticks and Sects The very Prince of Peace himself did vex; So Trimmers now, and Counterfeits throw dirt At Church and State; and make Religion Squirt. Yet thou Great JAMES Vicegerant unto God, Whos Providence hath brought Thee safe, dry-shod, Through that Red-Sea which threatned to fall down Upon thine Highness, and orwhelm thy Crown, Minde his great power; and keep before thine eye His Glory; that thy Name may never dye; But have (when thou art laid in Earths vast Womb) The Good and Great Engraven on thy Tombe. All flesh is grass; turn back, and look behind The vail of by past ages; and thoult fiind Times glistering Gloryes are but shadowes vain; And Man once Dead returneth not again: Crowns are but Cobwebs, and the Life of Man Compaired to Long Eternitys a Span.
