GOddess of Rhime, that didst inspire The Captain with Poetick fire, Adding fresh Lawrells to that brow Where those of Victory did grow, And statelyer ornaments may flourish now. If thou art well recover'd since The Excommunicated Prince: For that Important Tragedy, Would have kill'd any Muse but Thee; Hither with speed, oh! hither move, Pull buskins off, and since to love The ground is holy that you tread in, Dance bare-foot at the Captains Wedding. See where he comes, and by his side His Charming fair Angelick Bride Such, or less lovely was the Dame So much Renown'd, Fulvia by name, With whom of old Tully did joyn, Then when his Art did undermine, The Horrid Popish Plot of Cateline.
Oh fairest Nymph of all great Brittain (Though thee my Eyes I never set on) Blush not on thy great Lord to smile, The second Saviour of our Isle; What nobler Captain could have led, Thee to thy long'd-for marriage bed: For know that thy all-daring Will is As stout a Hero as Achilles; And as great things for thee has done, As Palmerin or th' Knight of th' Sun, And is himself a whole Romance alone. Let conscious Flanders speak, and be, The Witness of his Chivalry. Yet that's not all, his very word Has slain as many as his sword: Though common Bulleys with their Oat[hs] Hurt little till they come to blows, Yet all his Mouth-Granadoes kill And save the pains of drawing steel. Th[is]
This Hero thy resistless charms Have won to fly into thy arms, [F]or think not any mean design Or the inglorious itch of coyne, [C]ould ever have his breast contrould, Or make him be a slave to Gold; [H]is Love's as freely given to Thee [A]s to the King his Loyalty. [T]hen oh receive thy mighty prize With open arms and wishing eyes, [K]isse that dear face where may be seen [H]is worth and parts that sculk within, [T]hat face that justly stil'd may be [A]s true a Discoverer as He. [T]hink not he ever false will prove, [H]is well known truth secures his love, [D]o you awhile divert his cares [F]rom his important grand affairs: [L]et him have respite now a while [F]rom kindling the mad rabbles zeal. [Z]eal that is hot as fire, yet dark and blind [S]hews plainly where its birth-place we may finde, [In] hell, where tho' dire flames forever glow [Ye]t 'tis the place of utter darkness too.
But to his bed be sure be true As he to all the World and you, He all your plots will else betray All ye She-Machiavills can lay. He all designs you know has found, Tho hatch'd in Hell, or under ground; Oft to the world such secrets shew As scarce the Plotters themselves knew, Yet if by chance you hap to sin And love while Honour's napping shou'[d] creep in Yet be discreet and do not boast Oth' treason by the common post. So shalt thou still make him love on All virtues in Discretion. So thou with him shalt shine, and be As great a Patriot as He; And when, as now in Christmass all For a new pack of Cards do call, Another Popish Pack comes out To please the Cits, and charm the rout; Thou mighty Queen shal't a whole Su[it] Command, A Crown upon thy Head, and Sceptre [in] thy Hand.
FINIS.
