Repose is due To the great Genius that still waits on You. The Rebell Force all met in a large Field Which to the Sea do's a near Prospect yield There as they train'd and exercis'd for Fight Your Navy came to Anchor in their sight Which through the Crowd a conquering Terrour sent Whose conscious Minds suspected the Intent Hence mutiny and the chief Leaders slain They left their Arms as Lumber on the Plain Edg. Then may we calculate the Fate of Wales Since their Support and Hope of Scotland fails Gun Ah! labour not nor to low Objects bend To Kenn His Nobler Thoughts which publick Care attend The Pleas of Love allow of no Appeal And the more prest the more my Resolutions swell Edg. I know the Scruple where Gunilda sticks And must that generous Sullenness unfix My Coffers shall with Interest repay As charg'd on me what Fortune took away To the Scotch Foot Ten thousand English Horse Shall straight be joyn'd the Rebell Danes to force To this I adde whilst your two Lives remain Both Homage-free and absolute shall reign And henceforth shall to England onely come In Friendship 's name Ken. Oh thou our better Doom To Edgar As Heav'n serene resistless strong as Fate Gun Not Hercules was ever feign'd so great Nor that Redress to humane Wrongs could give To Edgar Heav'n's Steward Champion Representative Edg. 'T is done Ken. takes her by the hand By no Conjunction Heav'n could yet essay What Princes we by our joynt Nuptialls may To make one great and memorable Day As they are going off SCENE Ult. Enter Dunstan Dunst. By Fame instructed I am hither led To warn you that you must not Alfrid wed To Edgar Edg. Not Alfrid wed that stabs me at the Ear What murth'ring Oracle is this I hear So many Storms Heav'n suffer'd me to scape Now thunders on me with an After-clap Not Alfrid wed the Mystery unfold What Law what Book what Spirit this has told Has Heav'n for me done Miracles in vain I 'm in a Pit and thought the Passage plain Dampt are my Hopes and all my Joys are fled Where is that Text I must not Alfrid wed Dun. When the Church took her first within the Pale You for her Christian Carriage stood as Bail And so assisting to Regenerate Rest in Degree as Father who Begat By Spirituall Relation Edg. Has th' Offence No higher Source I with my self dispense Must I from Rocks and certain Danger quit Now in the Port and on a Pebble split Is that a Law t' obtrude upon a King Whence do's the pinching Obligation spring 'T is not a Law in God's or Nature's Book Dunst. On Rome and on the Holy Canons look These must command where God and Nature's mute And that Command no Temporall Prince dispute Provoke not from the Holy Chair a Curse Edg. If Caesar liv'd could I be threatned worse I will that Curse in the mid Ocean meet And 'gainst it try the fortune of a Fleet. Dare you preach here what any Laws define Exit Dunstan That are not shown under God's Hand or Mine Lew. You bravely act what others onely think Who low beneath th' encroaching Deluge sink O'rewhelm'd and dampt by Superstitious Fear You 'r truly King and keep the Character Kenn Kings their Just Rights to know from You shall gain And those Just Rights a Courage to maintain Edg.
