A PANEGYRIKE CONGRATVLATORIE TO THE KINGS MAIESTIE Also certaine Epistles By SAMVEL DANIEL Carmâ—â— aiâ—â—t quisquis carmina digna gerit A PANEGYRIKE CONGRATVLATORIE TO HIS MAIESTIE 1 LO here the glory of a greater day Then England euer heretofore could see In all her dayes When she did most display The Ensignes of her powre or whenas she Did spread herselfe the most and most did sway Her state abroad yet could she neuer be Thus blesst at home nor euer come to grow To be intire in her full Orbe till now 2 And now she is and now in peace therefore Shake hands with Vnion O thou mightie State Now thou art all great Brittaine and no more No Scot no English now nor no debate No Borders but the Ocean and the Shore No wall of Adrian serues to seperate Our mutuall loue nor our obedience All Subiects now to one imperiall Prince 3 What heretofore could neuer yet be wrought By all the swords of powre by blood by fire By ruine and destruction here is brought To passe with peace with loue with ioy desire Our former blessed vnion hath begot A greater vnion that is more intire And makes vs more our selues sets vs at one With Nature that ordain'd vs to be one 4 Glory of men this hast thou brought to vs And yet hast brought vs more than this by farre Religion comes with thee peace righteousnes Iudgement and Iustice which more glorious are Then all thy Kingdomes and arte more by this Then Lord and Sou'raigne more than Emperor Ouer the hearts of men that let thee in To more than all the powres on Earth can win 5 God makes thee King of our estates but we Do make thee King of our affection King of our Loue a passion borne most free And most vn-subiect to dominion And know that England which in that degree Can loue with such a true deuotion Those that are lesse than Kings to thee must bring More Loue who art so much more than a King 6 And King of this great Nation populous Stout valiant powrefull both by Sea and Land Attemptiue able worthy generous Which ioyfully imbraces thy command A people tractable obsequious Apt to be fashion'd by thy glorious hand To any forme of honor t' any way Of high attempts thy vertues shall assay 7 A people so inur'd to peace so wrought To a successiue course of quietnesse As th'haue forgot and O b' it still forgot The nature of their ancient stubbornnesse Time altred hath the forme the meanes and brought The state to that proportion'd euennesse As t' is not like againe t' will euer come Being vsde abroad to draw the sword at home 8 This people this great State these hearts adore Thy Scepter now and now turne all to thee Toucht with as powrefull zeale and if not more And yet O more how could there euer be Than vnto her whom yet we doe deplore Amidst our Ioy And giue vs leaue if we Reioyce and mourne that cannot without wrong So soone forget her we enioyde so long 9 Which likewise makes for thee that yet we hold True after death and bring not this respect To a new Prince from hating of the old Or from desire of change or from neglect Whereby O mightie Sov'raigne thou art told What thou and thine are likely to expect From such a faith that doth not haste to runne Before their time to an arising Sunne 10 And let my humble Muse whom she did grace Begge this one grace for her that now lies dead That no vile tongue may spot her with disgrace Nor that her fame become disfigured O let her rest in peace that rul'd in peace Let not her honor be disquieted Now after death but let her Graue inclose All but her good and that it cannot close 11 It addes much to thy glorie and our grace That this continued current of our loue Runnes thus to thee all with so swift a pace And that from peace to peace we do remoue Not as in motion put from out our place But in one Course and do not seeme to moue But in more ioy than euer heretofore And well we may since thou wilt make vs more 12 Our Loue we see concurres with Gods great Loue Who onely made thy way thy passage plaine Leuel'd the world for thee did all remoue That might the shew but of a let retaine Vnbarr'd the North humbled the South did moue The hearts of all thy right to intertaine Held other States imbroyld whose enuie might Haue fostred factions to impugne thy right 13 And all for thee that we the more might praise The glory of his power and reuerence thine Whome he hath raisde to glorifie our dayes And make this Empire of the North to shine Against all th'impious workings all th'assayes Of vile disnatur'd vipers whose designe Was to imbroyle the state t' obscure the light And that cleare brightnesse of thy sacred right 14 To whose reproach since th' issue and successe Doth a sufficient marke of shame returne Let no penne else blazon their vglinesse Be it inough that God and Men do scorne Their proiects censures vaine pretendences Let not our Children that are yet vnborne Finde there were any offred to contest Or make a doubt to haue our kingdome blesst 15 Bury that question in th' eternall graue Of darknesse neuer to be seene againe Suffice we haue thee whom we ought to haue And t' whom all good men knew did appertaine Th' inheritance thy sacred birth-right gaue That needed n'other suffrages t'ordaine What onely was thy due nor no decree To be made knowne since none was knowne but thee 16 Witnesse the ioy the vniuersall cheere The speeede the ease the will the forwardnesse Of all this great and spacious State how deere It held thy Title and thy worthinesse Haste could not poste of speedy anywhere But Fame seem'd there before in readinesse To tell our hopes and to proclaime thy name O greater then our hopes more then thy Fame 17 What a returne of comfort dost thou bring Now at this fresh returning of our blood Thus meeting with th'opening of the Spring To make our spirits likewise to imbudde What a new season of incouraging Beginnes t'inlength the dayes dispos'd to good What apprehension of recouery Of greater strength of more abilitie 18 The pulse of England neuer more did beate So strong as now nor euer were our hartes Let out to hopes so spacious and so great As now they are nor euer in all partes Did we thus feele so comfortable heat As now the glory of thy worth impartes The whole complexion of the Common-wealth So weake before hop'd neuer for more health 19 Couldst thou but see from Douer to the Mount From Totnes to the Orchades what ioy What cheere what triumphs and what deere account Is held of thy renowne this blessed day A day which we and ours must euer count Our solemne festiuall as well we may And though men thus court Kings still which are new Yet do
