WElcom, Renowned Prince! thrice Welcom here, Who art to Europe, as to Britain dear: No Land or Country but has heard your Fame; In every place is known Great MONMOUTH's Name: There is no Nation but your Worth can tell, And where you may belov'd, in safety dwell: Such is your Virtue, that where e're you come, You are no Stranger, but are still at Home. It is the lustre of your beauteous Mind, That makes you thus the Darling of Mankind. Though you ne'er us'd mean, base, and politick Arts, To overcome, and win the Peoples Hearts; Yet you have gain'd, for which you never strove, By Virtue's secret Charms, a Nations Love. When you the Court, and famous LONDON left, All look'd as if they were of Joy bereft: A Spring-Tide flow'd from all the Peoples Eyes, Which follow'd was, with an huge Storm of sighs; By which your Foes, if you have any, learn'd, That all the honest World's for you concern'd; And till they heard you safely Landed were, A troubled Cloud did in each Face appear: But now, Great Sir, their trouble will abate, And your safe Landing we Congratulate: All honest Englishmen rejoyce to see You've pass'd the Dangers of the British Sea: For you to Heav'n ten thousand Prayers are sent, As many happy Wishes daily spent;
The People inwardly do sigh and mourn And will no comfort take till You Return Though you have England left, yet you are To Us, and to your Royal Father dear You are both Heavens, and your Mona May Heav'n protect you by's AlmightyArm That in your Travels you may take no harm May he preserve your much-desir'd Lot From Popish Plots, and from the Jesuitss Art May true Religion still your Soul possess And may Heav'n you with Sacred Virtue dress Fit you with Hermes great Triplicity, With Knowledge, Power, and true Piety May you in Wisdom shine like Solomon, At least deserve, if not possess a Throne May your Great Father's mercy you attain? And may you back to ENGLAND soon [?] These are the Wishes that do you attend And which all Loyal Hearts to Heav'n d[?] Egbert, from whom you do derive your race To whom the Saxon Heptarchy gave place Whose Valour did convert seven Crowns And mounted first the English Monarch's throne Once left his Country, silently withdrew, And Travell'd into Foreign parts, like You But did Return with Glory, and Renown And by his Virtue did obtain a Crown.
