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.

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

five this Morn when Phoebus rais'd his head From Thetis Lap I rais'd my self from Bed And mounting Steed I trotted to the Waters The Rendevouze of Fools Buffons and Praters Cuckolds Whores Citizens their Wives and Daughters My squemish Stomach I with Wine had brib'd To undertake the Dose it was prescrib'd But turning Head a cursed suddain Crew That innocent Provision overthrew And without drinking made me Purge and Spew From Coach and Six a Thing unwealdy roll'd Whom lumber Cart more decently would hold As wise as Calf it look'd as big as Bully But handled prov'd a meer Sir Nicholas Cully A Bawling Fop a Natural Nokes and yet He dar'd to Censure to be thought a Wit To make him more Ridiculous in spight Nature contriv'd the Fool should be a Knight How wise is Nature when she does dispence A large Estate to cover want of Sence The Man's a Fool 't is true but that 's no matter For He 's a mighty Wit with those that flatter But a poor Blockhead is a wretched Creature Tho' he alone was dismal sight enough His Train contributed to set him off All of his Shape all of the self-same Stuff No Spleen or Malice need on them be thrown Nature has done the business of Lampoon And in their Looks their Characters are shown Endeavouring this irksome sight to baulk And a more irksome noise their silly talk I silently shrunk down to 'th lower Walk But often when we would Charibdis shun Down upon Scylla 't is our fate to run For here it was my cursed luck to find As great a Fop tho' of another kind A tall stiff Fool that walk'd in spanish guise The Buckram Puppet never stir'd his Eyes But grave as Owlet look'd as Woodcock wise He scorns the empty talk of this mad Age And speaks all Proverbs Sentences adage Can with as great solemnity buy Eggs As a Cabal can talk of their Intrigues Master o' th' Ceremonies yet can dispence With the formality of talking sence From hence unto the upper end I ran Where a new Scene of Foppery began A tribe of Curates Priests Canonical Elves Were company for none besides themselves They got together each his Distemper told Scurvy Stone Strangury and some were bold To charge the Spleen to be their Misery And on that wise Disease bring Infamy But none there were so modest to complain Of want of Learning Honesty or Brain The general Diseases of that Train These call themselves Ambassadors of Heaven Saucily pretending a Commission given But should an Indian King whose small Command Seldom extends t'above ten miles of Land Send forth such wretched Fools on an Embassage He 'd find but small effect from such a Message Listning I found the Cobb of all the Rabble Was pert Bayes with Importance comfortable He being rais'd to an Arch-deaconry By trampling on Religious Liberty Was grown so fat and look'd so big and jolly Not being disturb'd with care and melancholly Tho' Marvel has enough expos'd his folly He drank to carry of some old Remains His lazy dull Distemper left in 's Veins Let him drink on but 't is not a whole Flood Can give sufficient sweetness to his Blood Or make his Nature or his Manners good Next after these a fulsom Irish Crew Of silly Macks were offered to my view The Things did talk but hearing what they said I hid my self the kindness to evade Nature has plac'd these Wretches below scorn They can't be call'd so vile as they were born Amidst the crow'd next I my self convey'd For now there comes White-Wash and Paint being laid Mother and Daughter Mistress and the Maid And Squire with Wig and Pantaloons display'd But ne're could Conventicle Play or Fair For a true Medly with this Herd compare Here Lords Knights Squires Ladies and Countesses Chandlers Mum Bacon Women and Sempstresses Were mix'd together nor did they agree More in their Humours than their Quality Here waiting for Gallant young Damsel stood Leaning on Cane and Muffled up in Hood The would be wit whose business 't was to woo With Hat remov'd and solemn scrape of Shooe Bowing advanced then he gently shrugs And ruffled Foretop he in order tugs And thus accosts her Madam methinks the Weather Is grown much more serene since you came hither You influence the Heavens and should the Sun Withdraw himself to see his Rays out-done Your Luminaries would supply the Morn And make a Day before the Day be born With Mouth screw'd up and awkward winking Eyes And breast thrust forward Lord Sir she replies It is your goodness and not my deserts Which makes you shew your Learning Wit and Parts He puzzled bites his Nails both to display The Sparkling Ring and think what 's next to say And thus breaks out a fresh Madam I gad Your Luck last Night at Cards was mighty bad At Cribbidge Fifty nine and the next shew To make your Game and yet to want those Two G d me Madam I 'm the Son of a Whore If in my Life I saw the like before To Pedler's Hall he drags her soon and says The same dull stuff a thousand different ways And then more smartly to expound the Riddle Of all his Prattle gives her a Scotch Fiddle Quite tir'd with this most dismal stuff I ran Where were two Wives and Girl just fit for Man Short was her Breath Looks pale and Visage wan Some Curtisy's past and the old Compliment Of being glad to see each other spent With Hand in Hand they lovingly did walk And one began thus to renew the Talk I pray good Madam if it may be thought No Rudeness what cause was 't hither brought Your Ladiship She soon replying smil'd We have a good Estate but ne're a Child And I 'm inform'd these Wells will make a barren Woman as fruitful as a Cony-Warren The first return'd for this Cause I am come For I can have no Quietness at Home My Husband grumbles tho' we 've gotten one This poor young Girl and mutters for a Son And this disturb'd with Head ach Pangs and Throws Is full Sixteen and yet had never Those She answer'd strait get her a Husband Madam I Married at that Age and never had 'em Was just like her Steel Waters let alone A Back of Steel will bring them better down And ten to one but they themselves will try The same way to encrease their Family Poor silly Fribble who by Subtilty Of Midwife truest Friend to Letchery Perswaded ar't to be at Pains and Charge To give thy Wife occasion to enlarge Thy silly Head Some here Walk Cuff and Kick With brawny Back and Legs and potent Who more substantially will cure thy Wife And to her half Dead-Womb restore new Life From these the Waters got their Reputation Of good Assistance unto Generation Some warlike Men were now got to the Throng With Hair ty'd back singing a bawdy Song Not much afraid I got a nearer View And 't was my Chance to know the dreadful Crew They were
