A CONGRATULATORY Pindaric Poem For His Majesties Safe Deliverance from this Hellish and True PLOT Humbly Dedicated to the Right Honourable the Lord Dunblaine by C. P. Gent. Vicimus ô magnis tandem exaudita piorum Voca Deis nunc alma salus nunc saecula curat Jupiter Barcl Arg. TEll me ye Great Divinities Who dwell beyond the distant and the arched Skies Since you their Reign with Peace and Love Tell me why our Earthly Jove Should so unhappy in his Subjects prove Can it be a Punishment Which you from Heaven have sent T' inflict on him that 's Innocent No no it cannot be It lessens your Divinity To send down Ills upon the best of Men And give the best of Princes so severe a Reign II. But hark methinks I hear In th' ambent Air A sound that grating strikes my Listning ear Which says the King must die Nay instantly Oh horrid and unheard of Blaspemy Look down look down thou mighty Thunderer Who'st still took care To save and to protect thy great Ambassadour See where he lyes Design'd the Peoples Sacrifice Whose cruel minds so Disobedient prove The Government they all detest as much as Treason love And if they had the Power the Rebels wou'd Once more imbrew their hands in their own Sovereigns Blood III. Quit quit ye great Controulers of the Skies Your happy Pallaces And suddenly detect their damn'd Conspiracies Let not this Nation which ye once thought dear Neglected lye but hear her prayer And now once more descend and pitty her Unite her every part And to that Union add a Loyal heart That the great Mass may joyntly move Abroad commanding Fear at Home creating Love Then then we 'll drain the Land from putrid Blood And admit none but what are Just and Good Here Innocence alone shall Reign And Loyalty and Peace admittance have again IV. But now and only now unhappy Isle On whom in former times the Gods would often Smile And pour their Blessings down Upon the obedient People and the gentle Crown Then then how Love and Peace With Luxury and Ease Were joyn'd as if they 'd never part or ever cease But now Sedition does o'reflow This once blest Land though sinking now Sedition with so black a dye It aims at nothing less than Majesty V. Thus the bold Sons of Earth Made their Attempts at Heaven that gave 'em Birth The Gods themselves they did defie Aspiring to command even destiny Mountains on Mountains still were upward thrown Whose towring height did almost reach the Sun Thus did they think to shake Jove's great and glorious Crown Boldly they did their first Attempts persue For mounting at the Gates of Heaven they flew But to late found Their Bodies with their Work lade level with the Ground This fate to the bold Rebels then was given This Fate had Lucifer who fell from Heaven Thus may all sink from Earth to Hell Like the damn'd false Achitophel Who dare against th' Almighty or their Prince Rebel VI. How often have the Fatal Sisters had Orders to cut the thread On which did hang the Fate Of Charles the Just the Good the Great How often in his Childhood did they run To force the high born Youth from 's Throne All this and more than this was done For that great Crime of his of being his Father's Son Then Angels were from Heaven sent Who did those threatning Ills prevent Who still maintain him in his Royal Seat And guard his Person and secure his State Oh may these heavenly Guards for ever be Sufficient to protect him to Eternity VII But where 's the Atlas of our sinking State Kelyn the Just the Fortunate Kelyn the First that ever cou'd Singly preserve the Land from Blood And at one time serve Country King and God What e're he did still Conscience was his Theam All his Confession still from Conscience came Now in the highest Sphere he sure may move Fam'd for Religion Loyalty and Love Let him Just Heaven for sure from Heaven he came In Life be Happy and when Dead in Fame Let him whilst here below from us receive All that a Land so much oblieg'd can give VIII Now now to Heaven let 's offer up our Prayer And thank th' Almighty our Deliverer Let 's never cease Our Sacrifice 'Till with our Incense we have fill'd the Skies Through ev'ry Mouth let thanks be given To that great Power above that rules both Earth and Heaven For by his Providence alone Cur King and Land 's preserv'd and Crown Oh! may Great Charles for ever be Secur'd against their Trechery May he Live long and happy Reign And Peace be once brought back again May Treason and the Traytor have an End And t' Hell as to their proper Center tend Thus may each Subject happy prove And Charles be happy in each Subjects love London Printed for Walter Davis in Amen Corner 1683.
