ADmire not noble Sir, that you should heare Beasts eccho out your acclamations here, And those whom nature had tonguety'd, should breake Ther silent Chaines your fulmouth'd praise to speake It is no wonder Sir, since that to you The admiration of a greaters due, Whilst by your hands have curb'd the furious rage Of Steele, and have restor'd our golden age, This Brittish Isle by nature fram'd to be Of the great World the grand Epitome Whom Neptune circling in his briny armes Hath made secure from forreigne foes alarmes, And Providence so seated, that she seemes By her to prise all other Diadems; And yet had she thus freed from forraigne Warres Rent her owne Bowels with intestine jarres, And when no force of supercilious Spaine Nor power of furious France could from hir gaine, Hir wealth and honour, she of both bereaves Hir selfe; and gives them to his basest slaves He whose brave Heroes in the dayes of yore Could beat down others Sceptors or restore Them at her will: now did hir own betray And to herselfe, herselfe did make a prey. Oh foolish Nation, whilst thou sought to bring Subjection to thee from thy Soveraigne King Forgets in Bodies ruine must be red When Members Rebels turn against the Head, A people who turn Traytors to their King Must needs themselves into destruction bring; Most desperate is their case, nor can I rate The mischiefes which succeed a headlesse State, This you have prov'd, and now you sadly see
Rebellion recompenc'd with miserie; But ile be silent here, and will no more Thus smartly rub you raw, and galled sore Since here you came not to lament, or make A Fast, but feast for your Redemptions sake, And twas to you great Sir they did intend And to your praise I should my Speeches bend And think not Sir that your renowned name, Receives detraction in the rols of fame By being sung by me; for though that here My guards and followers doe not appeare To show my greatnesse yet at my Command The Forrests bow and as my Subjects stand And though I boast myselfe a mighty King My greatest Honour is your praise to sing Let Rome no more her Fabius show or boast His moderate prudence sav'd her being lost; Since you have justly bragge, your wife delaies Have sav'd a Nation Crown'd your selfe with Baies. Had you been furious any have cast the Dye Of War, we now might all in ashes lye; Triumph'd one by our foes, when now we see England restored to its Liberty By this your prudence nothing now remaines But that you recompence our other paines, And Crown your merits, whilst you and our strife By giving Head as well as Body life. The Members you have joyn'd, yet they're but dead, Whilst thus they stand dissever'd from the Head Procyed then George, and as thou hast brought down The Traytors, so restore the lawfull Crown, That after ages may thee justly call Restorer of thy Country, KING and all. The Reader may take notice that this is the right Speech, sung by W. Yeokney.
