WHat Booker can prognosticate, or speak of our Kingdom's present state? I think my self to be as wise, as he that most looks in the Skies: My Skill goes beyond the depth of the Pond, or Rivers in the greatest Rain; By the which I can tell, that all things will be well, When the King comes Home in Peace again. There is no Astrologer then I say can search more deep in this than I, To give a reason from the Stars, what causeth Peace or civil Wars; The Man in the Moon may wear out his shoon in running after Charles his Wain. But all to no end, for the times they will mend, When the King comes Home in Peace again. Though for a time you see White-Hall with Cob-webs hanging over the Wall, Instead of Silk and Silver brave, as formerly it us'd to have; In every Room, the sweet Perfume, delightfull for that Princely Train; The which you shall see, when the time it shall be, That the King comes Home in Peace again. Two Thousand Years the Royal Crown, hath been his Fathers and his own; And I am sure ther's none but he hath right to that Soveraignitie. Then who better may the Scepter sway than he that hath such Right to Reign? The hopes of your Peace, for the Wars will then cease When the King comes Home in Peace again. Till then upon Ararat's-hill, my Hope shall cast her Anchor still, Until I see some Peaceful Dove bring Home that Branch which I do Love, Still will I wait till the Waters abate, which most disturbs my troubled Brain; For I'll never rejoyce, till I hear the Voice, That the King's come Home in Peace again. Oxford and Cambridge shall agree crown'd with Honour and Dignitie; Learned Men shall then take place, and bad Men silenc'd with Disgrace, They'll know it was then but a shameful Strain that hath so long disturb'd our Brain, For surely I can tell that all things will be well When the King comes Home in Peace again.
Church Government shall settled be, and then I hope we shall agree, Without their help, whose high brain Zeal, hath long disturb'd our Commonwell Greed out of date, and Coblers that do prate of Wars that still disturb their Brain. The which you shall see when the time it shall be That the King comes Home in Peace again. Tho' many Men are much in Debt, and many Shops are to be set: A Golden time is drawing near, Men shall take Shops to hold their Ware. And then all our Trade shall flourish alamode, the which we shall e'er long obtain; By the which I can tell that all things will be well When the King comes Home in Peace again Maidens then shall enjoy their Mates, and Honest Men their lost Estates: Women shall have what they do lack, their Husbands, who are coming back. When the Wars have an end, then I & my Friend all Subjects freedom shall obtain. By the which I can tell that all things will be well When the King comes Home in Peace again. Though People now walk in great Fear alongst the Country every where: Thieves shall then tremble at the Law, and Justice shall keep them in aw, The Rogues shall flee with their Treacherie and all the Kings Foes most shamefulie, The which you shall see when the time it shall be That the King comes Home in Peace again. The Parliament must willing be, that all the World may plainly see, How they do labour still for Peace, that now these bloody Wars may cease: For they'll gladly spend their Lives to defend the King in all his Right to Reign; So then I can tell all things will be well, When the King enjoys sweet Peace again When all these things shall come to pass, then farewell Musket, Pipe and Drum, The Lamb shall with the Lyon feed, which were a happy time indeed: O let us all pray, we may see the day, that Peace may govern in his Name: For then I can tell all things will be well When the King comes Home in Peace again.
