AN ESSAYE Upon his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK His Adventure against the DUTCH SInce the proud Dutch will yet again provoke Heaven and the Duke to give the second stroke May he strike deep and let the angry Fates Make the Hogen Mogen Poor distressed States Why may'nt good Prayers do as much as charms And make the Duke secure from shot and harms If Pray'rs repeated backwards have such might Sure they have greater when repeated right May th' English Sea like that fam'd steed would take No other but his Master on his back Stoop to receive Great James but praunc'd and throw The Dutch and trample o're th'usurping Foe May 't smile and frown at once and ev'ry wave To him a Bull-wark be to 's Foes a Grave There let 'um with their bodies satisfie Neptune for th' Earth they stole out of the Sea T is fit some Colonies should be sent down To people once again their drowned Town VVhose Steeples at low-tide peep out o' th Sea Shewing what 's become of all their Piety May the kind Winds which from the Brittish Shore Come whistling on his head soft blessings pour And when he fights like Vassals let them run VVith their swift feet to aid the tardy Gun But to the Duth may their infections breath Not only Storms and Tempests bring but Death Let 'um with oblique blasts their Bullets spoil Or make 'um on their Masters heads recoil And if the sacrilegious Lead comes near Great James let it straight melt into a Tear And fall at 's feet o're come by 's powerful rayes VVhilst no bold Thunder hurt 's his conquering Bays VVhen e're his bellowing Guns shall roar for prey Impatient even of the short delay Of these swift Messengers they just now sent VVhirling through the amazed Element May the sure Bullets they like Spiders spun From their own bowels prove destruction And never from their bellies let 'um go But into those of the capacious Foe Then may the Guns as though they 'd Victory got VVith a great shout applaud the lucky shot May the great cloud of Smoak be while they fight To our men Day to those Egiptians Night And when our Ships laden with Fire and Death Directed by some VVind's auspicious breath Shall catch their perjur'd Hulks may they enlarge VVhatever is committed to their charge Chains Bullets Fire and whatsoever else kills As though they were Pandora's box of Ills. Let those ambitious Semeles of theirs Dye i' th' embraces of our Thunderers Let ne're a drunken Bacchus of them fly For safety to the shelter of Jove's thigh May our great Admiral still Victorious prove Assisted by the Almighty Power above Let wild-Fire from his Guns so swiftly fly As if h 'ad borrow'd lightning from the Sky And if from theirs any attaque his Ship Let it like lambent Meteors harmless skip And on his Sails a lucky Castor be A certain token of Prosperity Whilst o're the Dutch-men to inhaunce their fears Nothing but Hellen's boading Torch appears And when great York from Sea return's again May Squadrons of Dutch-Ships augment his train Let Captive Holland into England come And Conquering England into Holland roam FINIS Printed for W. Gilbert at the Half Moon in St. Pauls Church-yard 1672.
