NOtwithstanding the frown that descends from the Crown on my Lord that once was so dear, Preferd above other, undone by a Brother, & the hate of an Unckle so near, then let them tread on & end as begun, my love it shall ner be forgot, but in envys despight Il take my delight in Mon-mouth; ner known in a Plot.
Of great places at Court, Turnd him out, as a sport, Pretending that he soard too high, Or fearing he might At last claim a Right And become a great Beam in their Eye; Cause the Mobile ran And admired each man, Yea, Welcomd him with a glad Heart, But who can do less For whom God doth bless, since Monmouth we know thy desert. These monsters of Rome They first hatchd his Doom, Because that he stood in their way, And stopd their Carrire, When their Plots did appear, To make our Religion their Prey: Now each Famous Lord, As much is abhord And termd as great monsters as he By that Tory Crew, Who hath nothing to do But scandall brave Monmouths degree. May they Shimei like In Cursing delight, Till the Fall on their own Heads rebound, And he like the Palm Supprest, firmer stand, And the more shall be blest with Renown,
For who can he be Thats so happy as he, That smilingly so can forgive, The dangers of late, supposd from the State, Brave Monmouth be happy, and live. For the Heavens may grow clear, And great Charles may appear With the smiles of a King as before, As he promisd to me, He ever would be, And he my great Monmouth restore To his Places of state, That he may be great, And his Enemies unmaskd may be, Who indeavoured to bring Him in frowns with the King: Brave Monmouth I love Charles and thee. May thy Royal Father Sway the Scepter forever, And flourishing Govern this Land, May the Turk and the Athiest, Presbiterian and Papist Turn one, and in Unity stand, Then shall be firm Peace, And our Jars they shall cease, In Church, Government when we agree, And in the mean time, may the Crown keep the line; Brave Monmouth we happier shall be.
