WElcome, great Prince, to Britains happy Isle, Where all things now in peace and plenty smile; Where every Man what Peace and Plenty brings Tasts and enjoys, under the best of Kings. Whilst all the World around disturbed are, With the sad Whirlwind of devouring War. From Wars and Ruines, Mighty Sir, you come, And find us sleeping at our ease at home; We hear the Rumour, but with small Concern, And by Report alone we Troubles learn. Princes, like noted Stars, no Motions make, But every one doth Observation take: Their Progress and their Stations are set down, And all their Deviations are made known; Whilst other Men, like Stars of smaller light, Move un-observd, and twinkle out the Night. Let dull Astronomers observe the Stars, And from their Motions predict direful Wars, Fore-tell the Fate of Princes, Fools bewitch With future knowledge, till theyre in the Ditch: Whilst Poets Welcomes and lowd Paeans sing, And happy Wishes as their Offerings bring. This Island cant but wish you all thats good, Since you proceed from its own Royal Blood. And the good will of Protestants you gain, For you their Cause with Courage do maintain: So that there seems a sympathy between Our Silver Thames, and your Vine-bearing Rhine. Then welcome, Sir, to our Kings Royal Arms, Whos ready to redress all Europes harms: Like Orpheus among ravenous beasts he stands, With his peace-causing Lute between his hands, On which with skilful Hands he gently plays, And the wild murmuring Rout his Notes obeys. Welcome to all, welcome above the rest, To our great Prince, your dearest Unkles Breast.
He once the Terrible, and now the Good, Amidst our Troubles, still unshaken stood: Like a firm Rock beat on with furious waves, All fortunes storms the Noble Prince out-braves. At home, abroad, what glorious Acts has done, Both for the Royal Father and the Son? Beyond your Rhine has spread his Conquering Fame, And all Men reverence Ruperts mighty Name. A Name which like the Sun shall still shine bright, To Foes a Terrour, and to Friends delight. Welcome, great Prince, welcome the Poet sings, To this fair place, the Royal Seat of Kings, Where all things smile, and every one is bent To give your Highness pleasure and content. At once your Highness may in Windsor see The Images of Peace and War agree; Beauty and strength together Married, shine, The seat of Majesty that seems Divine. The Walls, the Guns, and Troops of Souldiers are The Pictures and the Images of War; But yet you may behold, pleasd, without doubt, Peace, glorious peace within, and round about: Within, the Court, and all its soft delights; Without, the Swain, now following Ceres Rites; The Fields new shorn, and Barns all filld with Grain, And without fear, singing the Merry Swain. Thus shew of War, and real Peace agree, And make betwixt them blessed Harmonie. Whilst the French Bore doth ravage every where, And with his bloody Tusks gives dread and fear, You find us rockd in peace and quiet here. To this sweet Land of Peace youre welcome now, And may like Lawrels in your Countries grow, May ours still flourish: for Peace and Love Makes Earth like Heaven, and Men like Saints above.
