Order brought H'invaded us with Force to make as free And in another's Realm could meet no Enemy Hail Great Asserter of the Greatest Cause Man's Liberty and the Almighty's Laws Heav'n greater Wonders has for Thee design'd Thou Glorious Deliv'rer of Mankind A Congratulatory Poem to the most Illustrious Queen Mary upon her Arrival in England By Thomas Shadwell MADAM IMmur'd with Rocks of Ice no Wretches left Hopeless of Life of Heat and Light bereft Under the Influence of the rugged Bear Where but one Day and Night is all the Year With ne'er so much transporting Ioy could meet The dawning Day as your Approach we greet Your Beams reviv'd us from the Belgian Shore Which now our long-lov'd Princess does restore What could make us so rich or them so poor The World nought equal to our Ioy can find But the despairing Grief you left behind We from the Mighty States have now gain'd more Than by our Aid they ever got before When the Great Vere's and Sidney's won such Fame That each of them immortaliz'd his Name Not Alva's Rage would have distress'd them so As MADAM we have done recalling You. Our ador'd Princess to Batavians lent Is home to us with mighty Int'rest sent For we with her have won the Great Nassau Whose Sword shall keep the Papal World in awe She comes she comes the Fair the Good the Wise With loudest Acclamations rend the Skies Rock all the Steeples kindle ev'ry Street Thunder ye Cannons from each Fort and Fleet. To all the neighb'ring Lands sound out your Ioys And let France shake at the Triumphant Noise Bless'd be the rising Waves the murm'ring Gales Sustain'd the Mighty Cargo swell'd the Sayls Bless'd be the Vessel as that was which bore The Sacred Remnant when there was no Shore Not the returning Dove they welcom'd so As we our MARY who brings Olive too That only promis'd safety to their Lives This our lost Peace and Liberty revives Bless'd bless'd be his Invasion which made way For this most happy and Illustrious Day So brave an Action so Renown'd a Name Was ne'er yet written in the Book of Fame Let Parasites call Princes Wise and Brave Who bear inglorious Arms but to inslave Our Prince will break those Chains wherewith they bind 'T is his true Glory to enlarge Mankind In any Land You would Dominion gain And MADAM in each Commonwealth would Reign Where'er your God-like PRINCE from us should go They would like us submit without a Blow In his short Sway more Wisdom He has shown Than here before in Ages has been known The Name of KING adds nothing to his Fame But his great Virtues dignify that Name What Land can boast of such a matchless Pair Like Him so wise so brave like You so wise so fair Where'er so many sacred Virtues join They to a Scepter shew a Right Divine Who are approv'd so Valiant Wise and Iust Have the best Titles to the highest Trust Though from the Loins of greatest Kings deriv'd That Title 's not so strong nor so long-liv'd For Princes more of solid Glory gain Who are thought fit than who are born to Reign The OBSERVATOR Or the History of Hodge as reported by some From his siding with Noll and scribling for Rome STand forth thou grand Impostor of our time The Nation 's Scandal Punishment and Crime Unjust Usurper of ill-gotten Praise Unmatch'd by all but thy lewd Brother Bays How well have you your sev'ral Gallants chose Damnably to plague the World in Verse and Prose Like two Twin Comets when you do appear We justly may suspect some danger near He lately did under Correction pass Honour'd by that great Hand that gave the Lash A doom too glorious for that cursed Head And unproportion'd to the Life he lead But you are to a viler Fate design'd To suffer by a vulgar hand like mine We 'll tear your Vizard and unmask your Shame And at each Corner Gibbet up your Name Expose you to the Scorn of all you meet As Dogs drag grinning Cats about the Street Under Usurping Noll you first began To rear your Head and shew your self a Man Unpitying saw the Royal Party fall And Danc'd and Fiddl'd to the Funeral Disclaim'd their Int'rest and renounc'd their Side And with the Independent straight comply'd Officious in their Service wrote for Hire A brisk Crowdero in the Factious Quire Your nimble Pen on all their Errands run The Horoscope still opens to the Sun There 't was in those unhappy Days You laid foundation for designed Praise By disrespect ignobly purchas'd shame And damn'd your Soul to scandalize your Name When Charles at length by Providence came in You fac'd about and quickly chang'd the Scene Turn'd to new Notes your mercenary Strings Began to play Divinity of Kings Your former Master straitway is forgot Stil'd Villain Rogue Thief Murderer what not Such recompence he doth deserve to have Who for his Int'rest durst employ a Knave Now 't was a time you thought to take your ease After such great Exploits perform'd as these Applauding to your self your own Deserts You strait set up for a vain Ass of Parts Resolving that the Ladies too should know What other Tricks and Gambals you could do Was there a skipping Whore about the Town Or private Baudy-house to you unknown Here for a Stallion there for a Pimp you went To do both Drudgeries alike content But ill success you had with Madam C k Whom in the Act her Husband took Strong Bastinado o're your shoulders laid Made you awhile surcease that letcherous trade Till growing old in customary Sin You with a Chaster Lady did begin Whom when you found she all Assaults refus'd And would not yield her self to be abus'd Down on your Knees you presently was laid And thus O Righteous Heaven devoutly pray'd Since you disdain the kind Request to grant Dear Madam let me lay my hand upon 't This is the Man whose whole Discourse and Tone Is Honour Justice Truth Religion Was such a Godly Rascal ever known But now reform'd by indigence of Gold Your former wanton course grew slack and cold For 't was at first indeed too hot to hold Now new expedients must employ your Brain And other Methods for advance of Gain Something contriv'd in private touch'd the State Which made you timely think of a retreat Beyond Sea then the wretched Caitiff flies A guilty Conscience has Quick-sighted Eyes When you return'd you fell to work amain And took up your old Scribling Trade again Some sorry Scandal on Fanaticks thrown And viler Canting upon Forty one You thought sufficient to oblige the Crown Then who but you the World was all your own Now for the Church of England you declare A witty Zealous Protestant appear Your secret Spies and Emissaries use To pay for false Intelligence and News When nam'd in two Diurnals you dispence Equally void of Reason Truth and Sense Guineas now from every Quarter came To pay respect to your encreasing Fame While

Written by the greatest Wits of the Age viz. The Duke of Buckingham Lord Rochester Lord B st Mr. Milton And. Marvell Esquire Mr. Sprat Mr. Dryden Mr. Waller c. which being found to be genuine met with good Acceptance Since that Book came out a great many excellent Poems have been sent me from very good hands pressing to have a Continuation thereof made which at last I resolved to do upon the receiving some Copies of Verses printed at Oxford 1654. in praise of Oliver Cromwel on his making Peace with the Dutch finding several Persons who now make the greatest figure in the Common-wealth of Learning to be concerned therein I thought the World would be willing to see what such Great Men as Dr. South Mr. Locke c. said on such an extraordinary Occasion I have printed their own Latin and kept strictly to their Sense in the Translation and those they wrote in English are also published this begins the Book Then follow several excellent Poems written by the Lord Rochester Esquire Marvell c. during the Reign of King Charles II. omitted in the former Collection As also those writ in the Reign of King James II. by the Lord D t. Sir F. S Mr. Prior Mr. Stepney Mr. Rymer c. and particularly those incomparable Pieces of the Hind and Panther transvers'd to the Story of the City-Mouse and Country-Mouse and the Man of Honour written by the Honourable Mr. M ue And since the Revolution you have several Copies writ by the Lord Cutts Mr. Tate Mr. Shadwell Mr. Ayloffe c. Lastly some Miscellany Poems by the same Great Men never before Printed And in this Collection Names are not made use of to countenance spurious Pieces but the Poems themselves speak the Greatness of their Authors if no Name had been thereto In short the said State-Poems and this Continuation thereof make a Compleat Collection of all that are valuable in that nature for these forty years and is the best Secret History of our late Reigns as being writ by such great Persons as were near the Helm knew the Transactions and were above being brib'd to flatter or afraid to speak truth And so I leave them to the Reader INDEX Select Poems out of Musarum Oxoniensium in Oliv.

Shadow lost his Troop of Horse That would be unintelligible a piece of Flesh is proper for him to drop and the Reader will apply it to Mankind they would not say that the Daw who was so proud of her borrow'd Plumes lookt very ridiculous when Rodriguez came and took away all the Book but the 17th 24th and 25th Chapters which she stole from him But this is his new way of telling a Story and confounding the Moral and the Fable together Before the Word was written said the Hind Our Saviour Preacht the Faith to all Mankind What relation has the Hind to our Saviour Or what notion have we of a Panther's Bible If you say he means the Church how does the Church feed on Lawns or range in the Forest Let it be always a Church or always the cloven-footed Beast for we cannot bear his shifting the Scene every Line If it is absurd in Comedies to make a Peasant talk in the strain of a Hero or a Country Wench use the Language of the Court how monstrous is it to make a Priest of a Hind and a Parson of a Panther To bring 'em in disputing with all the Formalities and Terms of the School Though as to the Arguments themselves those we confess are suited to the Capacity of the Beasts and if we would suppose a Hind expressing her self about these Matters she would talk at that Rate As to the Absurdity of his Expressions there is nothing wrested to make 'em ridiculous the terms are sometimes alter'd to make the Blunder more visible Knowledge misunderstood is not at all better sense than Understanding misunderstood though 't is confest the Author can play with words so well that this and twenty such will pass off at a slight reading There are other mistakes which could not be brought in for they were too gross for Bayes himself to commit 'T is hard to conceive how any Man could censure the Turks for Gluttony a People that debauch in Coffee are voluptuous in a mess of Rice and keep the strictest Lent without the Pleasures of a Carnival to encourage them But 't is almost impossible to think that any Man who had not renounced his Senses should read Duncomb for Allen He had been told that Mr. Allen had written a Discourse of Humility to which he wisely answers That that magnified Piece of Duncomb's was Translated from the Spanish of Rodriguez and to set it beyond dispute makes the infallible Guide affirm the same thing There are few mistakes but one may imagine how a Man fell into them and at least what he aim'd at but what likeness is there between Duncomb and Allen do they so much as Rhime We may have this comfort under the severity of his Satyr to see his Abilities equally lessen'd with his Opinion of us and that he could not be a fit Champion against the Panther till he had laid aside all his Iudgment But we must applaud his Obedience to his new Mother Hind she Disciplin'd him severely she commanded him it seems to Sacrifice his darling Fame and to do it effectually he publisht this learned Piece This is the favourable Construction we would put on his Faults though he takes care to inform us that it was done from no Imposition but out of a natural Propensity he has to Malice and a particular Inclination of doing Mischief What else could provoke him to Libel the Court Blaspheme Kings abuse the whole Scotch Nation rail at the greatest Part of his own and lay all the Indignities imaginable on the only Establish'd Religion And we must now Congratulate him this Felicity That there is no Sect or Denomination of Christians whom he has not abused Thus far his Arms have with Success been crown'd Let Turks Jews and Infidels lock to themselves he has already begun the War upon them When once a Conqueror grows thus dreadful 't is the Interest of all his Neighbours to oppose him for there is no Alliance to be made with one that will face about and destroy his Friends and like a second Almanzor change sides meerly to keep his hand in ure This Heroick Temper of his has created him some Enemies that did by no means affect Hostility and he may observe this Candor in the Management that none of his Works are concern'd in these Papers but his last Piece and I believe he is sensible this is a favour I was not ambitious of Laughing at any Persuasion or making Religion the Subject of such a Trifle so that no man is here concerned but the Author himself and nothing ridicul'd but his way of arguing But Gentlemen if you won't take it so you must grant my Excuse is more reasonable than our Author 's to the Dissenters THE HIND AND THE PANTHER TRANSVERS'D To the Story of the Country and the City-Mouse Bayes Iohnson Smith Iohnson HAH my old friend Mr. Bayes what lucky chance has thrown me upon you Dear Rogue let me embrace thee Bayes Hold at your peril Sir stand off and come not within my Sword 's point for if you are not come over to the Royal Party I expect neither fair War nor fair Quarter from you Iohns How draw upon your friend and assault your old Acquaintance O' my conscience my intentions were Honourable Bayes Conscience Ay ay I know the deceit of that word well enough let me have the marks of your Conscience before I trust it for if it be not of the same stamp with mine Gad I may be knockt down for all your fair promises Smith Nay prithee Bayes what damn'd Villany hast thou been about that thou' rt under these apprehensions Upon my Honour I 'm thy friend yet thou lookest as sneaking and frighted as a Dog that has been worrying Sheep Bayes Ay Sir The Nation is in too high a ferment for me to expect any mercy or I'gad to trust any body Smith But why this to us my old Friend who you know never trouble our heads with National concerns till the third Bottle has taught us as much of Politicks as the next does of Religion Bayes Ah Gentlemen leave this prophaneness I am alter'd since you saw me and cannot bear this loose talk now Mr. Iohnson you are a Man of Parts let me desire you to read the Guide of Controversy and Mr. Smith I would recommend to you the Considerations on the Council of Trent and so Gentlemen your humble Servant Good life be now my Task Iohns Nay Faith we wont part so believe us we are both your Friends let us step to the Rose for one quarter of an hour and talk over old Stories Bayes I ever took you to be men of Honour and for your sakes I will transgress as far as one Pint. Iohns Well Mr. Bayes many a merry bout have we had in this House and shall have again I hope Come what Wine are you for Bayes Gentlemen do you as you please for my part he shall bring me a
