ROuze then my soul, from that dull sottish Lethargy thou late didst lye; Call home thy spirits, let this Genial day Be sacrific'd in mirth; Let full and crowned Bowls proclaim our jovial souls, And let us cast all pining cares away: Since thou brave GEORGE hast us redeem'd from sleepie slavery; hast ruin'd those who were our foes, And scorn'd our Deity. Sure there must something in thee be which is divine: since thou hast thus restored us, And water turn'd to wine. Those flegmatick, yet frantick rascals which of late did rend the State, And with their small-beer Heresies confound Our peace and wellfare; are by thee, thy Countries friend brought to deserved end; And now the Nations hopes are almost crown'd. This justly may our after ages all convince, that he who slights God Bacchus rites, ------ Turns Traitor to his Prince. But he must a good Patriot be, who will his veins replenish with Cyprian black, or golden Sack, Or the rein-searching Rhenish. Come then my jolly Boies, this Hero here present with our gifts sent, Or from the Gallick, or Iberian shore: That so unto our utmost power we may show the praise we owe In our own sphere; since we can do no more. For Sir, both gods and men will freely now confess you have our Laws, our Faith, our Cause ------ Restor'd to happiness. There yet remains behind one truly grateful thing, which is that you give Cesar h's due, ------ And help us to our King.
FRENCHMAN Speaks. By God Bacchus order I here you present with a Cup of Apollo's own Nectar; 'Tis the drink of the gods, and I dare lay you ods make you most bravely conjecture What the Nation greedily longs for, and to what its thoughts are thus bent; That you would restore, and we may have once more, our King and Parliament. Chorus Here's the white or the red, take both as your due, For our blood and our brains we must both owe to you. SPANIARD. Stand by fond foolish Monsieur, let me come, Who am the onely man in Christendome. As for your Countrey-men, they're antick, Their Wine's for nothing but to make men frantick. But Sir, you may be sure this Glass contains What will inspire you with AEtherial strains. Chorus, good Canary onely makes men sing, And truly stand for Countrey, God and King. GERMAN. Nay then amongst the rest, Let me present a Test Both of my Wine and Soul, Which freely in this Bowl I hear do dedicate, And that you may it rate At its due worth, and so Its virtues truly know. Chorus, 'Twill purge out all infectious Blood, and render You still more strong to be the States Defender. GREEK. To this is that alone which now must ease This nation of its luke-warm disease, Recruit our vitals, and new propagate A lasting peace between our Church and State. This Sir, will free us from the poysonous taint, Lurks in the faint heart of our wall-ey'd saint. Chorus make us freely to rejoice and pray, To see our Charles's Coronation Day.
