where she overflows The Fertile Banks yet never further goes Without a Miracle tâ—an Natures Bounds Or if we think she do 't is where some Towns Encroach upâ—â— hâ—r 〈◊〉 â—or she Is full as constant fâ—r more just than we 7. In January All hail my Masters I must now implore Your Ticket for a twelve Months Recreation I know no Plot save that which keeps us poor And this of mine to gain your Approbation All my Designs lurk in these Rural strains My Guts Conspire indeed but not my Brains 8. In February I Honour all that have a Soveraign Pow'r Extol their Prowess be it more or less Admire them growing in a golden showre Observe but point not at their vain excess The Sun's defects seen in a line direct Hurt th' Eyes not when in Water they reflect 9. In March I pray for Kings and think 't a Pious deed Good Princes very well deserve our Pray'rs But thereof bad ones sâ—and the most in need For such be sure do stand on slippery stairs And like to Iron generate the rust From their own substance turns 'em into dust 10. In April I 'm hugely taken with the Golden Train Those lofty Stars which glide along this Sphere Yet Greatness without Goodness I disdain A Spungie Head full ill becomes a Peer Persons of Honour should have Princely parts No empty Cock-lofts or deceitful Hearts 11. In May. I Reverence Justice on the meanest seat She was a Vertue once though now a wonder I like sweet words intended not to cheat And works of Mercy not too far asunder But Cruelty how that would make me swagger Were it not common both to Sword and Dagger 12. In June I love the Ministry all but the name That Motly and promiscuous Appellation Which mingleth Dung-hill Dirt with Austin's Fame With Holy Writ pretended Revelation Give me the Priest disdains to tell a Lye That Priest who dare for his Religion die 13. In July I like the Comm'nalty that Sov'raign Pow'r Whilst not to Faction or Revenge dispos'd But Commons over-stinted or too sowre Are best improved when they are inclos'd Who gives a Giddy Multitude the Reins O're-whelms the State betrays his want of Brains 14. In August I own the Camp where Gallantry Commands Where Arts and Arms advance their awful Crosts But wish the Cramp befall such Victors Hands As cannot Conquer their Ambitious Brests Success enlarges Mens desires nay more It breeds some thoughts they dream'd not on before 15. In September I hug the Souldier dreads no violent end For stoutest Men such Fortune often have It is the Cause not Mode of Death shall send Us Glorious or Inglorious to the Grave He who'll avoid a shameful Death must run The danger of a brave one and 't is done 16. In October I fancy well our great Metropolis She harbours store of Men and store of Riches There is no sounding of that vast Abyss What wonder then if London wear the Breeches Yet must this Darling now and then untruss Correction keeps her most Obsequious 17. In November But O the Country free from jarring-strife Where Plants and Flow'rs abound with Eloquence Where ev'ry Hedge and Tree doth breath new Life Where pratling Birds do captivate my sense There I sequestred from the World abide And if needs must there I 'le be Crucifi'd 18. In Decembâ—r Thus in an Humour purely Innocent I add one Year more to a careful Age No more of this till freed from my Restraint I cannot chant like Birds within a Cage Yet know I have although my aim's not high Seleucus-like an Anchor on my Thigh 19. His Conclusion Thus have our melting Eyes England beheld With smooth-fac'd Peace and wanton Plenty swell'd Into a Monster so unweildly grown Her own vast weight depress'd her Princely Crown A Brutish War â—ore Church and State asunder Fool'd us with Fears fill'd all the World with wonder The fairest Sâ—â—rs losing their sacred light And cheâ—rfâ—l dâ—y turn'd into drowâ—ie Night Th' Aâ—tipodes true Mirrour of the Cause Re-aâ—ted through three Nations with applause Bâ—t EXIT OLIVER whilst yet we lend Oâ—r Patience till the PLAY be at an end In Kalendarium Ecclesiasticum 1660. We meet with thâ—se several Excellent and true Verses 1. Under the Regal Table WHere 's now the Sultan What remorsless Star Remov'd that Famous Idol Olivar Unwelcom Death But what flint-hearted Fate That Mushrome-Prince his Son Our glorious State Thus then we see what luck Protâ—ctors have A restless Life or Ignominious Grave 2. Under the Table of Terms Lo here 's a Trade surpasseth all the rest No change annoys the Lawyers Interest His Tongue buys Lands builds Houses without toyl The â—en's his Plough the Parchment is his Soil Him Storms disturb not nor Militia-Bands The Tree Roots best that in the Weathâ—r stands 3. In January And is He gone indeed Then farewel He Farewel to all our New Nobility Good-night Illustriousness Adieu old Joan The Kitchen better fits you than a Throne Lay ' side your Purple and your Râ—bes off cast Play'rs are but Princes while the Play doth last 4. In February About my Muse and try if thou can'st find What pow'rful Charm rais'd that Prodigious Wind Some dis-affected Conjurer I trow Did long to hear what News there was below But others think the Devil was matched so His breath grew short and so was forc'd to blow 5. In March But where be those fine Juglers did Address Such sugred Phrase such smooth Obsequiousness That vow'd to live and die with Richard yet Ne'r blemisht when they saw his glory set Such Hypocrites run with the stream of things And will keep Time whatever Dance begins 6. In April O for a Besom now to sweep the House And rid the Palace both of Fox and Goose Some choice Perfumes withal would be design'd Ill Spirits ever leave ill scents behind And when 't is cleansed and things sweeter grown Great Berecynthia's Sons go claim your own 7. In May. What 's to be done now all are grown so Wise And our fore-Fathers Wisdom counted Lies Were all the many Ages that are past Mistaken until this un-erring Last Good God! how sped they shall none saved be But Schismaticks Then what becomes of me 8. In June But 't is the Mode Come come let 's all comply There 's no firm footing on Integrity For having said and done all what we can The Pliant Willow is the Precious Man Whose Oaths of one day though of fair pretext Vail to an Inspiration of the next 9. In July Down then with Tythes they are a burthen great For which the Parson never soundly sweat Yet let 's remember maugre all new light He that detains them robs God of his right And though to him the tenth we should not pay The Publicans will sweep it all away 10. In August Let 's lay the Clergy by What need we Priests Or Ministers w' are all Evangelists The Bible's English thank the Bishops for
did Fâ—tter No Guardian like to Châ—â—les He He alone Shall be Protector of Great Britain's Throne In him alone concur both Rule and Right For him alone Law Pleads and Souldiers Fight In his Kalendarium Carolinum for 1665. We find these Pithy Poetick strains 1. In January OUR Saviour Circumcis'd The Wise-men are Conducted to his Cradle by a Star Blest Laud Beheaded Paul's Conversion wrought All-glorious Charles upon the Scaffold brought Whose Royal Blood shed by remorsless Slaves Sculk where they can pursues them to their Graves 2. In February The Blessed Virgin to the Temple hies Presents the true Messiah Purifies Away to Shrift would Ancient Christians cry Confess Prepare the Holy Fast draws nigh Matthias now from Macedonia come In Old Judaea's Crown'd with Martyrdom 3. In March Whilst Loyal Wales pays Homage to her Saint Stout Capel's Blood so lost makes England faint A Week of Passion and three Days of Sorrow But then the Pensive World is bid Good-Morrow The Son of Righteousness restores our Light Whose glorious Rising makes that Day so bright 4. In April Low-Sunday leaveth off those Garments white Put on in Baptism by the Neophite Saint George King Charles both upon one day Crown'd Saint George a Martyr Charles a King Renown'd Saint Mark th' Evangelist by Trajan Burn'd Whilst Alexandria for her Bishop Mourn'd 5. In May. To finish what our Saviour did and taught He now Ascended His Disciples saw 't The Holy Ghost in Fiery Tongues was sent Great Strafford Sacrific'd yet Innocent King Charles the Second Born and Born again His Birth and Restauration makes it plain 6. In June Saint Barnaby the Bright doth next appear And then Saint John the Royal Harbinger Saint Peter Chief of all the Twelve and Paul Both Roman Martyrs Glorious Martyrs all Yet such is still Saint Peter's sad Mischance His being at Rome some count but a Romance 7. In July The Dog-star now begins to shew his might Yet that Mad-Dog in England doth not bite Saint James who to the Twelve Tribes Preach'd the Word He in Judaea fell by Herod's Sword Of whom more than the rest this may be said He was the first Christs Kingdom entered 8. In August Saint Bartholomew next to the Cross we bring Both Heir and Nephew to a Syrian King Yet by Polemius his unjust Decree Beat first with Cudgels then Nayl'd on a Tree So Flay'd alive at last while breath remain'd His Head struck off and so this Glory gain'd 9. In September The Grand Usurper dies the Faction Powts And Dick his Son drest up a King of Clouts Both Court and City in close Mourning drest Drapers and Silk-men more than all the rest Illustrious HENRY Gloucester's Duke Expires Whom yet the World lamenteth yet Admires 10. In October Thaddaeus slain and Simon Crucifi'd Was last of all the Twelve Apostles dy'd Saint Luke departeth in a Peaceful Bed At Ephesus where he is Buryed Rarely bad Quarter such Physicians find Who can like him both Body Cure and Mind 11. In November With Bells and Bonfires here we Celebrate Queen Katherine's Birth-day England's Happy State Adorn'd with such a Gemme so fair a Queen In whom all Vertues are concentring seen All-hallow-day needs fear no more Complaints Since She makes up the Total of All-Saints 12. In December Just when the Scepter is departed from Judaea Shaddows Substances become Janus his Temple-gates are shut Wars cease Behold at Bethlem Born the Prince of Peace Well fare that Day Parent of such a Birth As Reconcil'd at once both Heav'n and Earth 13. Under the Table of Kings Now Peace and Plenty in our Bowels raign And none but Enemies are heard complain I ask our Anti-Monarchists How they Could more Oâ—â—â—ge us if they had the sway For let them Fancy what they please New things No Freedom's like to that proceeds from KINGS 14. Under the Table of Terms Not Major-Generals nor Committees Rump-Justices or fell Presbyteries But England's Laws with Loyal Minds Expounded Distribute Right to Cavalier or Thanks to our Gracious King by whom we have So great Deliverance from Fool and Knave In his last Kalendarium Carolinum which was for the Year 1666. We meet with these Learned Pieces of Poesie 1. On the Year 1666. NOW Sixteen hundred sixty six is come When as some say shall be the Day of Doom Or else the Pope and Hierarchy destroy'd Presbytery Advanc'd and over-joy'd Here 's Seven Years Purchase offer'd â—or his Land Who thinks that Dreadful Day so nigh at hand And if his Holyness suspect his Chair I 'le tak 't my self though but for this One Year 2. In January Now that we have Chastis'd th' Insulting Dutch Tho yet De Witt scarce let them know so much Shut up their Shops restrain'd their Fishing Trade And shewn the World how they have play'd the Jade Burn we our Incense first then Pay our Vows And with fresh Lawrel Crown the Conquerers Brows 3. In February The Conquering Brows of our Renowned King Without whose Council this had never bin Without whose Stars our Stars had fought in vain And Hogen-Mogens Vanquish'd Charlemain Side-belly'd Bores Eclips'd Great Britain's Fame And London truckl'd under Amsterdam 4. In March The Conquering Brows of our Illustrious James York's Famous Duke whose all-consuming Flames Upon the Floating Altar of the Main Have Sacrific'd what They account but Slain Fir'd Batter'd Sunk and Took what did not run Ended a War e're it was well begun 5. In April The Conquering Brows of that Heroick Prince Whose Blows are th' Arguments which must Convince Such State Delinquents One Broad-side from Him Breaks their whole Body Reason but one Limb. Whose very Name 's enough to strike 'em Mute RUPERT no more to end the whole Dispute 6. In May. The Conquering Brows of that great Archimede Who when the Monster Tacks about and 's fled Can with one Beam of his Ingenious Ire Reach her proud Head and mak 't a Cone of Fire More Dreadful than the Spainish Inquisition Or which was worse Duke D' Alva's Imposition 7. In June The Conquering Brows of Neptune's Choicest Sons Whose Triumphs we Proclaim'd with their own Guns Loud Bells large Bonfires full and chearful Bowls To strike stone-dead those Ague-shaken-Souls Whose Luck 't will be though no great Dignity To drain that Universal Quagmire Dry. 8. In July Dry as when Switzer Priest and Saxon Monk Had with strange Doctrines made the Pagâ—â—â— Drunk And in Compassion drawn the Power of Spain To come and Pickle up their Wits again When scarce one Herring lest to trim the Barrel 'Till William of Nassaw espous'd their Quarrel 9. In August William the First who set their Country Free Emboldned Them to that Confederacy With Zeland and Both with the other Five Whose Blood and Fortunes made them so well thrive They quickly bad Defiance to their King So started up this High and Mighty Thing 10. In September But now that Union 's run out of Date And Holland claims the Soveraignty of State Whilst th' other six
