SIrs, Whats the matter? s all the World grown mad? Or ist our Isle alone, that with this sad Distemper is possessd? Surely we, Our Stately Bedlam built by Prophesie: To two Extreams we all do madly run; And Moderation (which should heal us) shun. Better it were, both th Tories and the Whiggs, Had spent their time in whipping Tops and Giggs, Than thus disturb our Peace, make such a stir, For and against a Popish Successor; When God knows whether it be so or no; Or if it be, can change him from a Foe To our Religion, make him a Faithful Friend, And Zealous Protestant before his End; Or if we have not Faith enough to hope For his Redemption from the French and Pope. Yet God can us preserve from all our Fears, By adding many more to Charles his Years; Who (Thanks to Heaven) yet does fill the Throne, And may do (till Romes Downfall) if my own, And other Prayers be heard, who daily cry For Heavens Blessings on His Majesty; Fors long and happy Reign, and twould become Others to do so, rather than beat the Drum, And noise abroad their Fears, distract the Rout, And kindle Flames they know not to put out; Provoke His Majesty, and all because They cannot have their Will oth King and Laws; And therefore rob him of his Peoples Hearts, (Its Felony, Ill provt whoever starts) His Right to thems undoubted, theyre his Store, His Strength, his Wealth, who steals them, makes him poor. Does wrong him more than he that takes your Purse Wrongs you, or he that fairly steals your Horse. But there are others whom I must not spare, Who contribute (at least) as large a Share To our Distractions, and while they pretend To greater Loyalty than others, bend Their Wits, their Actions, Pens, their Tongues and Lips, The Splendor of our Sovereign to eclipse, By crying up the High-born Prince, his Brother, As if the World, nor we had such another, When (Thanks to Heaven) we have the Elder Brother. Him they extol, of him all places ring, Theyl scarce allows to cry God save the King. Drink but the Kings Health, before tis half gone round, Th other must follow, and must all confound That take it not, or they must drink, or die, Or fly the place, or fight the Company. Such their Devotion is to th Rising Sun, They cannot stay untill our day be done. But hold, bold Wights, too forwardly you run, Our Sun shines bright, ands little past its Noon; We hope to bask still in his warmer Beams, And when toward Evening he casts larger Streams, To rest our selves under the quiet Shade, His happy Government for us has made. I hate to see him jostled from his Throne, Or in it either, bet by more or one, That seek to eclipse his Glory, drown his Name, With the loud Noises of the growing Fame Of James the Second, a Prince whom I admire; But still Great Charles his Name must sound the higher.
It grieves and vexes too, sometime to a Rage, To hear him treated, as going off the Stage, As if his Work were ore, his Race were run, And only gazd at, as the Setting Sun. And though hes sprightly, strong, sound, brisk and brave, Yet theyll needs have it, hes one Foot ith Grave. All to call off the Peoples Hearts and Eyes, From him to th Sun they look should next arise. But Heaven will disappoint their Hopes, I trust, By blessing Charles with a Long Reign and Just, Removing Jealousies and causless Fears, Both from his Commons and his Loyal Peers, Creating mutual Confidence in both, The want of which has causd (Im very loath To say) how many Mischiefs, and how great Id rather try to find out a Receipt, To cure our Ills, theyre only to repeat. The while the World stands we can neer expect, From a prevailing Party, Faction, Sect; But from an Union of True Protestants, (And Oh, tis that our Kingdom Chiefly wants) And a right Understanding twixt our King, And all his Faithful Subjects, who do bring Hearts full of Loyalty, and Zeal to serve Him, and their Country, and both to preserve. And when he calls, may he a Parliament As ready find, to own confess, repent Th unkindnes, rashness of some Votes that past The lower House: As forward yet at last To treat their Royal Sovereign with all true Reverence and Obedience which is due To Sacred Majesty; t accept, embrace His Royal Offers (made with so much Grace) To joyn with them in whatsoever shall Be thought effectual to secure us all, Against, alas, our too just Fears of Rome, Both at the present, and for time to come. (One thing excepted only) and lett still Excepted be for me, while those that will Approve themselves good Patriots, do betake Themselves to find Expedients, or to make Such into Acts, as by his Majesty, In a late Speech was laid before their Eye, As means effectual thought, for to restrain Papists and Popery breaking in again. But let not be forgot then due Supplies, T enable him to succor his Allies. (Who must a Prey be to th devouring Bands Of the proud French, less rescud by his Hands;) And to restore the Grandeur of his Court, Enable him to relieve those resort To him for Shelter, who do hither fly, To shun the Cruelties of Popery. To maintain his Right, and Honor of the Seas, Curb the Insulting Pirates that dis-ease And plague our Merchants evn as they please. Nay, let him know when youve been very kind, The rest, ins Peoples Purses thats behind, S ready ats Call, to defend him ands Isles, From French, Turk, Pope, Papists, and all their Wiles, That Popery neer enter here agen, And let the People cry Amen, Amen.
