LONDON Printed for J. Hindley MDCLXXXV A POEM ON THE CORONATION Of His Most Sacred MAJESTY King James II. c. NOw are our Joys fulfill'd our Pleasures Crown'd Ore all the World Fame does her Trumpet sound Inspir'd Muse vast Trophies raise to Jove And there proclaim an Vniversal Love There in Seraphick Strain my Angel sing And with thy tuneful Lyre Charm e'ry thing Make Groves and Mountains in due measure move And mollifie hard Rocks and Stones with Love Dart from they Throne thy Rays of Eloquence And make each God admire thy Influence 'T is thou canst speak of greater things than they What e're they spoke thou more of it canst say Besides their Power thou boldly dar'st disown Whilst thou assum'st a greater of thy own Thou in three minutes six days wonders wrought Thy Sense their Nothing to perfection brought Out of an undigested Lump thou didst refine The grosser Atomes that did frame Mankind At thy command all things do new appear Equal and gay in manner of a Sphere The unknown paths of Fame thou make'st thy way Where thou Foundations of new Worlds dost lay Thou mak'st the Abyss of thoughts a Second Cause And Matter Forms by thy Diviner Laws 'T is thou alone canst with thy Heavenly Fire The Soul of Verse our humane thoughts inspire 'T is only thou art fit to breath the Praise Of Mighty JAMES who does thy Fancy raise He thy Apollo inspires thee with sence And fills thy World with his Worlds influence Come is the day the great Coronation Day Which also thee Crowns with eternal Bay Till Heaven melts the fleeting plumes of Time So deathless is his Glory as thy Rhime Great JAMES like Sol with his Aurora rose And thro' her blushes did the day disclose Painting his Glory gilding e'ry thing Begets the sweet fruition of the Spring A spring of Joy came darting from each smile And charming Nature lay dissolv'd the while The Gods themselves their Power did bestow That they more perfect might appear below With Reverence and Ceremonies great They do allow we them shou'd imitate And by Divine Assistance do put on Two Glorious Crowns which do adorn one Throne But more their Glories do their Crowns adorn The Choirists Anthems most Divinely Sing Even so the Birds do welcome in the Spring Musick their thoughts to Heaven does aspire Joyning in Consort to the Heavenly Quire The bright Attendants did themselves admire Each found his thoughts a Paradice entire The Guards like those of Heaven smiling stood Whilst Joy proclaim'd them more than flesh and blood Angels did Guard those that did Guard the place Gracing each motion which the place did grace Hark! how the Bells in joyful consort sound The Loyal Motto writ on them around The rocky Steeples to their Musick move And ev'ry Stone yeilds in the act of Love The thund'ring Cannons eccho from the shore Healing the wounds which they had made before They simpathize with ev'ry joyful sound Proclaiming Love which does more strangely wound The Drums and Trumpets eccho through the Air And to the Heavenly Spheres their consort bear The Wind in gentle whispers tells his Tale Curling the Ocean with each wanton Gale Thames gentle streams swell into waves of pride And does forget through joy her usual Tide Healths Crown'd with Huzzahs heals each factious Wound And makes the drunken World reel faster round The Tide of Nature faster ebbs and flows And ev'ry fragrant Birth her glory shews Whilst from the ancient Chair the blest abode Where Crown'd has been many an earthly God Creat JAMES and MARY in glory did retire The Gods as well as Mortals did admire Crouding look'd down and wondred for to see The illustrious Pomp and glorious Jubilee As Heaven unto us will new appear So our Coronation unto them did there Their pleasant smiles they freely did bestow And made each Gemm with greater lustre show As pleas'd to see the manner all Divine And their Vicegerents in their glories shine Next raise my Muse a high and mighty Throne Such as great Jove himself does sit upon And if a Jove on Earth he will allow Set on great James and let him Thunder too Dovvn from his Heaven let Lightening round be hurl'd And Blast the spreading Factions of the World Until He Calms the raging Universe And Heals the Ulcers vvhich abroad disperse Let the Seditious Torments of the mind Free from one spark of Glory be confin'd In Darkness let them infamously dvvell And ev'ry Crime combine to make a Hell Where may each Furie's Conscience ovvn his Sin And be sufficient Hell to Damn him in On the Death of His late Majesty I. GReat Consternation like a Tempest rose Whilest Cesar's mighty Soul Too great for Nature to oppose Launch'd through the Ocean to Eternity Loud storms of Grief in folds did rowle And drowned all the Worlds Supremacy II. All things lookt sad and mourn'd at the Depart Till Heaven pleas'd to smile Eas'd the reluctance of each Heart And all around the solid Universe His beams of gentle influence the while He rose in glory like mercy did disperse III. So when bright Sol draws from the fruitful earth His wearied beams of Light Which do beget each fragrant birth The sable Curtains ore the Heaven 's drawn But soon he does in flaques disperse the Night And usher in Aurora through the Dawn IV. Whilest mighty Hosts of glorious Souls extend Thoughout the spangl'd Sphere All Saints his Presence do attend A High and Mighty Saint they him proclaim As we great James our King did here The Second of that Everlasting Name V. Angels conduct him to the glorious Throne Where all things new appear He comprehends the Three in One A Crown of Glory 's to him given Whilest Mighty James Great Baittains Crown does wear And Joy's proclaim'd throughout both earth and heaven VI. Our Cesar was too Pious Great and Good ' Mongst Mortals to remain Heaven saw they thirsted for His Blood But Traytors Crimes do still require their own Justice the Murtherers themselves has slain And plac'd Great Charles on an Eternal Throne VII Near to our Great Jehovah he is set Adorn'd with Gemms of Light Fine Azure Clouds about him get But soon his lustre thro' the Laune displays Dispersing round the Globe of Atomes quite And gilds the Heaven with his refulgent Rays VIII He like Apollo sway'd vvhilest here on Earth Justice fulfill'd his Law His Influence inspir'd his Birth When from the Martyr's sacred Loyns he came By a Divine Intent the World to awe Which now is fill'd with his immortal Fame IX The Auspicious Star which at His Birth appear'd Great Prodigies foretold That such a Prince belov'd and fear'd Shou'd Crovvn'd vvith Miracles adorn a Throne Whose Fame shou'd Register great Deeds of old And Chronicle far greater of his ovvn FINIS
