KING of England Scotland France and Ireland c. Dread SIR 'T IS not a flattering Muse appears before your Sovereign Throne for she pays her devotion to Your Majesties Royal Person rather than to Your Fortune Her Theam is Your Princely MIND exceeding the Pythagorean World-supporting Intelligence by the Conduct of which Pilot Your Triumphant Argo did at last overcome all dangerous Gulphs and Creeks smoothly gliding into the harbour of a Fleece far Richer than that of Colches In a word 't is not the Hand-maid but the Mistress I adore even Your Majesties All-conquering Genius which by its Regular stedfastness is able not only to Triumph over Fortune but also to make it True it is my Vein is shallow not being embody'd in the more luxuriant Channel of Your British Parnassus yet since it breaths Devotion I am apt upon that score to think it shall not prove unwelcom because it will though proceeding from the sandy and barren Pile help in some measure to bear up the Sovereign Ark of Your Majesties unquestioned Grandeur Perhaps she cannot promise to this Divine Fabrick for a support a gold-streaming Hydaspes yet she shall appear to flow as Loyally as the Palm full of Water presented unto mighty Cyrus by you famous Persian Peasant being poured out at the brink of Your twice-surrounding Ocean by Dread Sovereign Your Majesties most dutiful and most faithful Adorer T.

AND now doth JAMES in spight of Envy reign Swaying his Scepter peacefully If Art By false Reflexions outward shew doth gain The end shall shew 't was but a Mimick part II. The Standard of his PRINCELY course was MIND Rul'd not by Chance but Vertue and the train Of Silent Patience which in Him refin'd Did Fates and Fortunes poyson'd darts disdain III. Thus riseth David thus great CAESAR climbs To Scepters Glory Thus an Ark depress'd By stormy Waves unto Ararat swims Though to the Eye with pregnant Sayls not dress'd IV. For 〈◊〉 by Judgment being over-sway'd Will shrink and be discarded from its Rule Yea all the Trenches it against it ●ai●'d Must prove a Bubble and an empty Tool V. And if this sometimes held in lesser bowels Whose active Lump made Monarchies to start It doubtless must take place in Princely Souls Where Jupiter displays his chiefest Art VI. No wonder then that by His constant Wit Great JAMES or'came all Storms which Athens cou'd Blow on Miltiades or that HE hit The White without the crimson streams of blood VII His Soul Divine did laugh at Mens device And Peace contriv'd when they were most for War Their Practices not them it did despise From Fierceness them and not their Rights debarr VIII Like Jupiter when Giants mountains heap'd To chase him out of his immortal Denn HE from their boyling blood no vengeance reap't But only turn'd it into milder Men.

And now black Malice what canst thou presage Thy Fears are vain a KING hath spoke Recall He will not Spend thy force and teeth of rage On thy Pragmaticks But let HIM be All. XVI None can conceive a Change as matters stand But those that would stir up Cadmaean bowels And coveting the Fatness of the Land Instead of Salt do harbour miry Souls XVII JAMES doth not scatter painted words as Thou Who Protheus-like dost but for Int'rest change He to all Circes Men proclaims Adieu And next to Conscience doth his Impire range XVIII He hat 's those Flatt'ries Alexander prais'd He hat 's a Posture moulded out of frame And scorns Religion by Reflexion rais'd Nay doth reject it from his Diadem XIX He for Obedience to his Crown doth look And knows it can with th' inward Acts agree Of Conscience which as yet HE never shook Nor will a Rise to any for it be XX.
