I. IF wanting Wings one may ascend the Skies, And Phoebus view, without an Eagles Eyes; Then Rouse up (Muse) from thy Lethargick Strains, And (having first invokd the God of Brains) Let the Grand Subject of thy Measures be, No Soul to England like a Monarchy.* II. It is the Image of that Domination, By which Jehovah rules the whole Creation; Angels nor Saints, do in his Kingdom share, God is Sole-Monarch, they, but Subjects are: Whose Laws are such, as when they did Rebel, Sequestred not, but sent them strait to Hell. III. As Old, as that Paternal Sovereignty, God placd in Adam, ruld his People by; Disownd of None, but them whose Minds aspire, And Envy ONE should have what All desire: For bet a Few or Many we live under, Such shall repine, still, whilst not of the Number. IIII. The Antients did a Monarchy prefer, Made all their Gods submit to Jupiter; And (when Affairs and Nations first began) Princes DECREES were th only Laws of Man; Experience will avow it, where theres any, One HONEST MAN is sooner found than MANY. V. The Rational Soul performs a Princes part, She rules the Body by Monarchick Art; Poor Cranes, and silly Bees (with shivering Wings,) Observe their Leaders, and obey their Kings: Nature her self, disdains a Crowded Throne, The Bodys Monstrous, has more Heads than ONE. VI. A Monarchys that Politick simple State, Consists in Unity (inseparate Pure and entire;) a Government that stands, When others fall, touchd but with levelling hands: So Natural and with such Skill endud, It makes ONE Body of a Multitude.
VII. In Order (wherein latter things depend On former) thats most perfect doth attend On Unity: But this can never be The Popular State, nor Aristocracy; For where or All, or Many bear the Sway, Such Order, to Confusion leads the way. VIII. A Monarchy more quickly doth attain The End proposd; for tis the Single-Brain That ripens Councel, and concealeth best Princely Designs, till Deeds proclaim em blest. Whilst Numerous Heads are rarely of one Mind, Slow in their Motion, lowder than the Wind. IX. Treason, nor Force, so suddenly divides Th United Strength that in a Crown resides: Sedition prospers not, it seldom here, Results an Object of the Princes Fear: Then when an Empire, Rome was ner so strong, Nor Triumphd under other Rule so long. X. A Monarchy abates those Feverish Fits Of Emulation a Free-State begets: A Prince cannot his Reins so quickly slack, Or throw his Burthen on anothers Back: But where so many Rulers have Command, The Works transferrd, and tossd from Hand to Hand. XI. The People, or the Nobles to debate The deep Concernments of a troubled State, Set Times and Places have assignd them, they First meet, and then adjourn from Day to Day! Whereas a Monarch, who by Natures ONE, Deliberates always, nevers off his Throne. XII. But hold! Me thinks I see the three Estates Convend; thrown open Prison-Doors and Grates, Extinct our paltry Jealousies and Fears, Grace offerd to All, but Cavaliers And ------! yet with Patience they abound, In Hopes of Better, now the Wheel gos round. *Monarchia a Monos Archon, The Rule of one Prince or Governour without a Peer, or the Government of one man over many. As in England etc.
Britannia ab initio mundi semper fuit Regia, & Regimen illius simile ille Caelorum. Howel.
