TO unperplex the Riddles of our State, And to discover t'us our hidden part, Welcome (we cry) Welcome to George the Great, A joyful sight to see. Not like the Macedons impatient sword, That solv'd the doubt tyed in the Gordean Cord, Great George doth time proportion due afford, A joyful, etc. Wisdomes great pattern bred at Bellones Brest, Prudence and Valour joyned in one Rest, No more St. George shall be but George the Blest, A joyful, etc. As Cesar did the affrighted Boat-man learn, When he sate trembling at the stinking stern, My fates Embarqued that do's the world concern, A joyful, etc. So the wrack't Vessel of the state distrest, With Heav'ns angry blasts, now seeks for rest, From the Favonian Gales of George o'th West, A joyful, etc. His great excelling merits in the scale, Of our rais'd hope, nor shall the angry Taile, Of any Comet 'gainst our peace prevail, A joyful, etc. Another Fabius, whose wise delays, (Like a misty morn, guilt with the suns noond-rayes) Have Crown'd him with the Glorious Bayes, A joyful, etc. He that has marched quite three Kingdoms o're, Subdu'd his great mind for to make them four, The signes to bring peace and plenty to our Door, A joyful etc. Let all antient Glory then be a Romance, Let old fame, and craz'd Time, lye in a Trance, Nothing new but Hony Soit qui mal y pense, A joyful, etc. This is the Noble Champion of the Garter, The great Defender of the Magna Charter, The soveraign good come from the Northern Quarter A joyful, etc.
To settle a Nation without any Blowes, To break down the Bridge of another Nose, To do what all wish, but nobody Knowes. A joyful, etc. To compleat a Design without any Noyse. To amuse the Loud cry of Vive le Roys, And sport all a long with your Commonwealth toys, A joyful, etc. But all the grand Hero's and wise ones together, None had such advantage of Wine and Weather, 'Tis true he's sprung of a Princely Feather, A joyful, etc. Where shall we begin his Trophees to raise? Or when shall we make an end of his praise? The blessing and honour and joy of these dayes. A joyful, etc. The untam'd Scot (before his glorious time) Has made t'expiate their treacherous crime, They own him sole conquerour of that clime, A joyful, etc. His great and most powerful Influence, Ha's restraind them in their obedience, As if they own'd the Vice-roy of their Prince, A joyful etc. The shifting Irish bey'd his great command, The slaughtered Dutch, yet rowling on the sand, Crave a reflux, to keep them from his hand, A joyful, etc. Thrice did he Victory over them repeat, And the a'most wearied State were forc'd to treat, To save them from a final last defeat, A joyful, etc. Whether we conque'rd are, or must submit, By his all-powerful hand to them that sit, We are sure to be eas'd of our present fit, A joyful, etc. What if great George should come to the Citie, And in all your good humours should presently fit ye, As I hope he will do; else more is the pitie, A joyful sight to see.
