Shouts their voices Hoarse all Eccho'd around le ts on le ts on to Warsaw Let 's Teach this new made KING by whom he stands Which of his Scepter or our Swords Commands WHen in good time the General was sent Unto the Army posted as he went And as the Sun after impetuous Flouds Of Rain when once wink'd up dispels the Clouds So the first fight of SOBIETZKI's Face Hush'd all their Tumults into Joy and Peace Who as a most discreet and wise Physicion That Cures the sharpest Humors by diversion Takes first occasion which did then present To give their itch of Fighting fullest vent THose Wretches without Faith to Man or God The Tartars that are of Bialagrod Upon Podolia and the Vkrain In hideous Numbers having fallen in And made great Spoil and Havock and in Droves Led the poor People of those parts their Slaves Against whom SOBIETZKI marcheth straight Did in an instant put them all to Flight Whose Courteous Haste had made them all so kind As leave their Prey and Prisoners behind VPon the twenty sev'nth of Februar In sixty nine or sev'nty in stile newer Did KING Michael Match QVEEN Eleanor Sister unto the German EMPEROUR By reason of which Match some Jealousie Was raised that his Royal

loathness scarce obtain 't Until his Majesty perceiving that Their Resolutions were obstinat Not to proceed in any State-affair Till that their Proposition granted were Unwillingly thereto he gave Assent And so next day the Knights together went Into the Honse of Senators where sat His Majesty under a Cloath of State On whose each side were plac'd Poles greatest Peers Where the said PACTA read at full length hears At whose last Article which did Import That if the King o's Duty should fall short Of what he then and there had promised That they from their Allegiance quite were fred Which last words were no sooner full Read out When all the Knights did Seal them with a shout WHich passage reasonably may compone Some Authors differences hereupon Concerning Poles KINGS Oath spoke of

spurred on This Ragietzki Poles Vice-Chancellour Had match'd a Lady of all beauties Flower Whom CASIMIR did Court for his Amour Which Ragietzki smelling at the last Convey'd away his fairest Wife in haste Dreading the KINGS Assaults might storm'd the Fort T' a Mannor House and far from Courts resort The KING incensed to be thus depriv'd Of her fair Sight by which his pleasure liv'd Under Pretence of Services in short His Office ow'd commands him back to Court. Of Cabaling accused after soon Against the State with En'mys of the Crown And notwithstanding stiffest opposition Made by th' ARCH-BISHOP GNESNA in 's tuition Condemn'd to forefault both his Goods and Place Exiled from his KINGS and Countries face Whereat the Kinred of this Nobteman Aloud to murmure presently began And thousand others did not stick to say That this Procedure was the readiest way To violate the Honour Dignity And Priv'ledge of the whole Nobility All quite undone in this abused man From which day forward most of them were draw'n To dis-affect the KING Whilst not in vain Griev'd Ragietzki shelter seeks in Sweden Where he at length spreads out his Grievance Cause Unto its valiant KING Charles Gustaus Who listens to it with attentive ear Then which he could no sweeter Musick hear Then Weaknesses of Pole discovered And Discontents amongst its Grandees spred This Exile all that Wit and Vengeance bears Recounts then speaks the rest in Sighs and Tears JUst like late blust'ring Gale on Sea or Plain Puff'd near a alm but with new Drifts of Rain Far more incens'd it rustleth yet the more With Gusts and Blasts more vi'lent then before Grows Storm then Tempest which aloud doth roar Straight fills the Sea with Waves Deaths Drownings Wracks Tall Trees stocks up and strongest Castles shakes It mingleth Heav'n with Earth and Night with Day And what stands loose or light or weak it cleanly sweeps away So Ragietskis plaintful Moans Tales Tears Such strong Impressions on the Swedes soul bears That notwithstanding a depending Peace 'Twixt Swed and Polish Crowns whose signed Leace Had long t' expire with dreadful Armies came Charles ent'ring Poland like some Hurrican He forc'd his Passage and with small ado Seizes their chiefest Cities old Cracow And Warsaw own'd by most and best o' th' whole Great Palatines and chiefest Lords of Pole And like some Whirlwind whisking all around Licking the very Dust from of the Ground Ne're stinted till he 'd over-run the whole Towns Cities Castles Provinces of Pole EV'n as that man whose House is all on Flames Half sindg'd scapes forth from Fury of its Gleams Being driv'n on with Fire Sparks Smoak and Wind Ne're turns his face for fear nor looks behind Till got without its reach he calmly spys That Smoak which did menace his Breath those Sparks which dar'd his Eyes Sees Throngs and Crouds who made as if they meant To quench the fierce devouring Element But more attentive knows those Enemies First laid the Train feeding the Flame when 't dies And all his Neighbours busy'd with the toil For one poor drop of Water brought rav'ning ten loads of spoil Till having recollect'd his Sp'rits and Friends To quench the Fires fierce Rage and quell those Fiends The rav'nous Harpys beats and routs and then home empty sends THe bold KING CASIMIR was forc'd to flie To the utmost Borders of the Vkranie Just so pursu'd with Vengeance Sword and Fire His Friends forsake him and his Guards retire Being deserted left almost alone Ev'n when his routed Hopes were almost gone And all that knew him knew him for undone All the strong Holds and Cities in his Land Came by prevailing Force to Charles his Hand Only the City Dantzick still held out Persisting Loyal for its King most stout Which Gustave seeing he could not come by By Gold nor open Force nor Jeopardy Despairing therefore e're to conquer it His Souldiers bloody Cruelties commit And barb'rous Spoils and horrid Villanys Which made the Poles repent with wat'ry eyes Such unadvised rashness all bemoan That for a Foraign Master quits their own Astonish'd at the Swedish Tyranny So soon commenc'd in 'ts early Infancy What Havock Massacre what day of Doom Might Poles expect from Charles in CAS'MIRS Room On t' other hand Dantzicks brave constancy Doth shame them to their wonted loyalty These forc'd the Poles Gustavus to forsake Who to their Duty and their KING come back THey seek him in his utmost Frontiers fled Promising if his MAJESTY'l make Head Against his own and now their Enemy They 'l expiat their late Disloyalty Renew'd with Oaths by all that Honour bounds To Seal their Faith in Swedish blood and wounds LIke one new fred from Prison loos'd from Rack Pardon'd for Life or rescu'd from a Wrack Ev'n so KING CASIMIR rejoyc'd to see Himself once more in some Capacitie To Dispute's Crown and Kingdom with that hand Had nearby left him scarce one Pole of Land And lest their forwardness for fight should yield Or faint Amidst their eagerness takes field Where in a trice old Fortune turns her face And Poles stern Valour puts the Sweds to chase Worsted and Routed quite in many a Battle They flee and die like droves of Sheep or Cattle And as one Mischief falls upon another Like Waves succeeding Waves so ills together Befall the Great the Small the Prince the Begger Whil'st Sweds are routed Poles have sackt their Leaguer Just at that very time the Dane Invades Gustavus Kingdom routs and kills his Sweds So he that but just now for Conquest 's come Must quit's new Victories and hasten home Has much ado to hold maintain his own While gaping to have grasp'd his Neighbours Crown ANd as a Leech new suck't a teeming fill of Blood falls off but doth more grossly spill That swelling draught which leisurly before It sipp't and drunk most quickly Spues that Gore So CHARLES his Conquests great and sudden fast More so his losses Nothing vi'lent lasts And Casimir no sooner vanquished The Swed when quickly re-established In 's own Dominions to chastize the CZAR who 'd giv'n the Swed his Aid in this late War His valiant Poles march on successfully With Fire and Sword harrassing Muscovie Where 's Mighty Victories soon turn'd the Chess Oblig'd the Muscovites to sue for Peace WArs Tempest overblown succeeds calm Peace Which did renew both Courts and Countreys face Yet like one from a Fever newly fred Fond of Recov'ry and too grossly fed To please wild Appetite as 't often haps The Patient 's threatned with a worse Relapse Ev'n so King CASIMIR these grand Affairs Having Compos'd so well next bends his Cares To please a fondness in his French-born-Queen Both He and She having yet Childless been And like to be so still did move the State A Successor in 's life to nominate The Queen most eagerly strove to advance Because born there the Interest of France Sparing no Cost not Care to have this done In favours of the only living Son O' th
