GOUT! I conjure thee by the powerful Names Of CHARLES and JAMES, and their victorious Fames, On this great Day set all thy Prisoners free, (Triumphs command a Goal-Delivery) Set them all free, leave not a limping Toe From my Lord Chancellors to mine below; Unless thou givst us leave this day to dance, Thourt not th old Loyal Gout, but comst from France. Tis done, my grief obeys the Sovereign Charms, I feel a Bonfire in my joints, which warms And thaws the frozen jelly; I am grown Twenty years younger; Victory hath done What puzled Physick: Give the Dutch a Rout, Probatum est, twill cure an English Gout. Come then, put nimble Socks upon my Feet, They shall be Skippers to our Royal Fleet, Which now returnes in dances on our Seas, A Conqueror above Hyperboles. A Sea which with Bucephalus doth scorn Less than an Alexander should be born On her proud Back; but to a Loyal Rein Yields foaming Mouth, and bends her curled Main: And conscious that she is too strait a stage For Charles to act on, swelld with Loyal Rage, Urgeth the Belgick and the Gallick shore To yield more room, Her Master must have more. Ingratefull Neighbours! twas our kinder Isle, With Her own Bloud, made Your Geneva Stile Writ in small Print [Poor States and sore perplext] Swell to the [HIGH AND MIGHTY LORDS] in Text; And can ye be such Snakes to sting that Breast, Which in Your Winter gave you Warmth and Rest? Poor Flemish Frogs, if Your Ambition thirst To swell to English Greatness, You will burst. Could You believe Our Royal Head would fail To Nod those down who fell before our Tail? Or could Your Amsterdam by her commands, Make London carry Coals to warm her Hands? A bold Attempt! Pray practise it no more; We savd our Coals, yet gave you fire good store. It is enough; The righteous Heavens have now Judgd the Grand Quarrel betwixt us and you. The Sentence is --- The Surface must be ours, But for the bottom of the Sea, tis yours: Thither your Opdam with some thousands, are Gone down to take possession of your share.
Methinks I hear great Triton sound a Call, And through th affrighted Ocean summon all His scaly Regiments, to come and take Part of that Feast which Charles Their King doth make; Where they may glut Revenge, quit the old score, And feed on those who fed on them before; Whom when they have digested, who can find Whether theyre fish, or flesh, or whats their Kind? Van-Cod, Van-Ling, Van-Herring will be cryd About their Streets; All Fish, so Dutchified. Their States may find their Capers in their Dish, And meet their Admirals in Butterd Fish. Thus theyl imbody, and encrease their Crew; A cunning way to make each Dutch-man two. And on themselves, they now must feed or fast; Their Herring Trade is brought unto its Last. To the KING. GReat Sir, Belovd of God and Man, admit My Loyal zeal to run before my Wit. This is my Pens miscarriage, not a Birth; Her haste hath made her bring blind Puppies forth. My aims in this attempt, are to provoke, And kindle flames more Noble, by my smoak; My wisp of Straw may set great Wood on Fire, And my weak Breath Your Organs may inspire. Amongst those Flags y have taken from the Dutch, Command your Denham to hang up his Crutch: He is a man both of his Hands and Feet, And with great Numbers can Your Navy meet, His quicker Eye Your Conquest can survey; His Hand, Yorks Temples Crown with flourishing Bay, Waller (great Poet and true Prophet too) Whose curious Pencil in Rich Colours drew The Type of this grand Triumph for your view, (The Fishers (like their Herrings) bleeding new) With the same Hand shall give the World the sights Of what it must expect when England Fights. That Son and Heir of Pindars Muse and Fame, Your modest Cowley, with Your Breath will flame, And make those Belgick Beasts, who live, aspire To fall Your Sacrifice in his pure Fire. He shall proclaim Our JAMES great Neptunes Wonder, And, like a Jove, Fighting in Clouds and Thunder.
