thy grief And her affliction which required relief And He it was inspirde thy royall heart T' accept thy Subjects love and to avert That storme of wrath which brought thee to these bounds Big swolne with furie breathing death and wounds What ever false aspersion hath been put Upon thy people here thou foundst it not The black-mouthd Hell-hounds that did belch their gall To make them foule and in thy vengeance fall Now lurk in darknesse and their faces hide And dare nor can not Truths pure light abide But God will rouze them and his justice rod Shall scourge them that dare jump with King and God Now that these clouds are clear'd which darkned late Thy royall favour from this Land and State Go on great King in glory shine forth bright And grace thy native Scotland with thy sight Embrace her zeal the captiv'd Church deliver Whose vows and prayers have wisht thee happie ever And call'd to witnesses Heaven and Earth if shee Hath in least thought declin'd thy power or thee Repaire these breaches Schismaticks have made Whose tyran yoak Religion bond-slave led To compasse their unluckie ends and take A power to them which should thine weaker make So shall heavens blessing shield thy happy throne And of the Stewarts race shall ne'er want one To swey great Brittains Scepter while the sunne To light this lower world his race shall runne From priests whose pride is temporall and great Usurpers in the Government and State From factious firebrands from dissembling Doctors Loyola's loyall ministers and Proctours From Romes emissaries and all that seek The Church and Kingdomes happy peace to break Great Charles our hopefull Hercules set free This land which looks to be reliev'd by Thee And purge it so no dregge nor filth remaine That doth referre to Rome or smell of Spaine Then shall thy Brittaine prosper and thy raigne Bring to the world the golden age againe But since all now is one that Thames and Tweed An equall interest in thy person plead And seek who shall be nighest though I claime Thy birth and cradle yet I do not aime At such a Soveraigne share as to possesse Thee all alone that he may have the lesse Whom heavens have joyn'd no earthly power shall sever And thou shalt be a like to both for ever Though thou be pleasd to blesse with thine abode His happy banks and seldome com'st abroad To grace me with thy presence I presume In thy affection Tweed with Thames doth come In equall ballance But I grieve to see Some wicked spirits strive to poyson thee With lies and railing if they could to make Thee hate thy Countrey and their love forsake These vipers hatcht in venome spew their spite In Pasquills Ballads striving to excite Thy furie and revive the long unquenchd fire Whose ashes drench'd in bloud of thine Empire The ground stone-laid and labour to defame Thy noble Ancestors with scorne and shame What battels earst were in old quarrels fought Before this happy Union could be wrought They now reproach and vaunt strange victories Of pris'ner Kings which were but treacheries For when first James a childe and bowne for France Through storme cast in at Flambourgh by chance Was contrare to all court'sie law and right Detain'd by treason but not tane in fight The conquests glory was not very great Nor can they boast so much of our defeat But will these villaines call to minde how once When Englands crowne was lost the royall ones By proud usurping Steven dispossest Who did himself into the throne invest That second Henrie with his Uncles aid Scotlands third Alexander who did invade With mighty powers that Kingdome and constraine Th' usurper to restore their crowne againe They 'le say that Scotland could for them do more Then they could for themselves and them restore To Crowne and Kingdome though she boast it not But with more favours hath it quite forgot Great King confound these monsters crush their necks That would disturbe our peace with flowts and checks Tyburnes triangle trees their portion be That so do sleight thy Countrey scoffe at thee One thing thy Tweed would humbly beg for all Great Charles and prostrate at thy feet doth fall To gain thy grant Thou seest what armed bands Thy will can raise and even thy wink commands They if thou speak the word can sack proud Rome And give the Law for Thee to Christendome While yet their armes are clear their courage hot Doe not O mighty King dissolve them not But let Eliza lead them to her Rhine And repossesse her there Her cause is thine These hopefull Princes that Thee Uncle call Pearls of that Crowne which from her head did fall All beg the same and even with teares intreat Brave Rupert may at libertie be set And that thy Scots may on proud Isters streames Their valour show and with thy Nephews names In wounds and bloud on Vienns battered walls Which boast that royall spoil and Princes thrals So mayst thou mighty Monarch live and raigne In glorie till that King returne againe Who shall with endlesse glorie crown thy browes And lead thee to these joyes which heart not knowes Eye hath not seen nor can the Soule conceive Untill he do it of free grace receive May earth all fear and love Thee and thy name Fill all the world with never-dying fame
