LONDON'S Ioyfull Gratulation and thankfull Remembrance for their safeties Presented to the Right Honourable their Excellencies the most Noble Earle of Essex and the most Noble Robert Earle of Warwicke Both Generals of the present Forces raised for the defence of this Kingdome with the generall joy for their safe comming hither Arma virosque Cano LONDON Printed by Iohn Iohnson 1642. LONDONS Ioyfull Gratulation for their safeties WIth as much zeale as to the lusty Spring The little Birds their jocund Orgies bring Permit men sanctimonious reverence pay To ought beneath the Deity with a true Unfained intention offer we to you Our gratefull hearts which if you 'l not despise Shall burne our gratitudes ample sacrifice To you brave paire of Earles who have beene the health The very life and soule o' th' Common-wealth The frozen Russian so who halfe the yeare Hath been lockt up in night when day does cleare That cloudy darknesse joyfully doe run To pay his homage to th'all quickning Sun As we to gloirous Essex doe impart The best devotions of a thankfull heart Who without feare being justified by th' lawes Did put himselfe into his Countries cause And like great Mars where-ever he did come The foe did shake at terrour of his Drum And as the timorous fowle the ●●ab●on fly So did they him when hee did dim the skie With groves of Pikes the splendor of whose heads Seem'd to obscure the Sun beames when the beds Of honour in the tombed field were made The waving ensignes gloriously displaid And to the valiant Souldiers full delight The Trumpets sung tantarah to the fight When after this brave Earle had led his men Through most o th' fertile provinces and agen reduc'd them towards this City in the way Hee made triumphant and victoriour stay When neer to Keinton the malignants came Dress't in the prodigies of smoake and flame Such fury in their faces that from far Each of their lookes appeares a civill war Teeming with death and horrour as indeed They 'd come to make the Countries Genins bleed To shew themselves true urpers that without Least Scruple eat their Mothers intrails out Then this great Earle his Countryes generall stood Resolv'd to offer in its cause his blood And with undaunted Courage his Command Brought safety to the much afflicted land Under which fighting the bold army went To death to serve the King and Parliament And giving the fierce enemy the defeat Who fearfully disordred did retreat They brought home conquest to adorne the breast O' th Common-wealth and deck the generals crest Illustrious Essex who 's so truly good His vertue dignifies his name and stood Which being deduc'd from ancient steeres stem With chartlyes barronie even had on him To whom by right inheritance did arive The stile of Earle of Essex and of Eve Whose father that same darling and delight Of manhood vanquish'd in victorious fight The Spanish powers when with propitious sayles He with his Army landed at that Cales Where Hercules of old upon the shore His Pillars fixt which non plus ultra wore Ingraven in theie Marble sides to stand As 't were the last marks of the then-known land Now to this City in whose just defence And to secure the Lawes from violence Hee 's been abroad with everlasting fame The Generall Essex is return'd A flame Of joy and gladnesse breaking from each heart The City multipli'd through every part With he expressions of their thanks the Bels With their loud voyes ringing welcome knels To his approach with whom conjoynd must be Warwicke that 's now our other Generall He That has our Fleet commanded that same walls o th' Iland beene its glorious Admirall And this pass'd Summer when our Brittish Seas Swarm'd with Malignants practises did appease All troubles were emergent on the Maine That could approach us or from France or Spaine Or Holland where the bold Malginants lay To purchase Ammunition to betray Their Countries safety and impugne it's peace He did by 's diligence those feares release Which did like tempests threaten to ore-whelme The State and those that plied were at the helme To ruine that great Chartre which was made Unto our Ancestors by whom was sai'd The Basis of our Liberties Even then Did this same second Neptune among men Boldly the Azur'd Oceans curl'd face greet With a well-ordered and unconquer'd Fleet So that no Barke could furrow up the Maine But by his industry was surpris'd and tane That he in glory with brave Essez even Might seeme the other Atlas of our heaven Upon whose shoulders from assur'd decay The reeling pillars of this Realm might stay That glorious Warwick might his name advance As high as his who through the heart of France Led his great Masters warlike squadrons on Warwick third Edwards marshall that upon A pile of wounds did to true honor build Eternall trophees Such renowne shall guild Our Warwicks Crest who with his Essex bands Another Champion of his Countries stands As well as noble Essex selfe and is A worthy patriot in this extasis Of the sicke State which gladly did him call From Sea to take the stile of Generall Which now hee weares resolv'd to spend his blood In our defence and for the Kingdomes good Which needs such worthies firmly to support Its frame against those Catalines at Court Those strange perverse malignants that instill Into King Charles his sacred Eares an ill Opinion of his Parliament that strive The Subject of its property to deprive And for their own sinister lude intents Would quell the essence of our Parliaments Who as a constant axiome told this true The safest way to old ils is by new And 'gainst such monsters whose each acts a crime Each thought destruction was it not high time To call these Heroes to our aid to stand Up for the Liberty and peace o' th' land That their indeavours suddainly might bring Tranquillity to th' Subject and the King That this brave City Britaines royall Seat Might still continue happy as t is great Blest with imperiall presence which of old It as the Chamber of our Kings did hold That true Religion might its wings display O're the vast face of faire Britannia Which these brave Earls by their industrious course And by the assistance of the Almighties force We hope will see effected that the teares May from our eyes be wip'd and all our feares Banish'd and new and glorious Sun-shine smile Through the mourning compasse of this Isle Then our bright Virgins shall themselves adorne With beauties ornaments as if the morne Broke from their eyes and gladly flocke to see These men of fame whom their felicitie Has beene deriv'd from then our wives shall run With joyfull Ios to salute the Sun Brought by these Earls upon them when they may Safely injoy the glories of the day When every one may under his owne vine Eate his bread freely and carouze his wine Our Matrons then shall from their couches rise And teares of joy shed from their orient eyes To see this peace and happy plenty brought Into the City where there shall be nought Of noise or tumult heard the old men then Shall be as jocund as their youths agen Were growing on them children shall rejoyce In their first language and the common voyce Shall be to chaunt soft Hymnes and pleasant layes To noble Essex and brave Warwicks praise To whom this Kingdome and this City shall When all their names are held Apochryphall That doe detract their worths not to be hid Erect to each a lofty Pyramid To which the Memhpian ones so fam'd of old Shall yeeld priority while this Isle does hold Their memory 's sacred and 〈◊〉 Annals tels The History of these two paralels In the big art of war who swift as time Does follow motion shall while this same clime Beneath the Pole rests in the booke of fame Together beare sufficiently a name For worth and love unto their Country which Shall still to noble Deverux and Rich Still pay their gratitude and to begin The Islands wishes free from that base sin Of flattery to them May the joyes of health Strength happinesse and unexhausted wealth Surround their ages May they never meet The crosse of sicknesse to impair the sweet Harmony of their frames may they injoy Blisse which no time nor fortune can destroy In heaven and while they sojourne here on earth May all their actions give a daily birth To deeds of honour may a faire successe Crowne their attemps may victory still dresse At the reflexion of their glittering swords It's beautious lookes that when their heads are whit Beneath their helmes they may orecome in fight These are our wishes to them the same fate Wait upon all those worthies of the state That doe defend their Country may there fall Heavens precious bounties plenteously on all That love the peace of Sion may the King Increase in grace and vertue quickly bring Joy and tranquility to the Realme and may Divisions cease among us so does pray All who affect this kingdome which heavens blesse With all the fruits of peace and happinesse FINIS
