convene To welcome you such things are seldom seen Lo how the Ladies in a train attend Scattering the confects round about Ringsend Whence where the floods before did overflow Now over man led all with green doth grow Where men may walk from bank to bank ev'n both From Bullock bravely to the Hill of Hoth About which mountain Neptune now 's a sence And flows for favour of your Excellence And with his proud approaches doth proclaim The ancient custom of the Diadem This day is done our duties we declare The Lords and Ladies loyally repair Where famous feastings furnished are found Ceres and Bacchus both of them abound Applauded pleasures nor did Paradise Afford such fruits of plenty or of price As Hoth in heaps canst cast upon the Hills Till ships were fraughted when we fed our fills And after all Solemnities were there And many thousands satiate with a share Lo then from thence unto the Castle-gate Ladies lay lillies my Lord may step in state Likewise the Leefy look't as it were pav'd VVith precious pearles as the waters wav'd But then behold about the heaps and hills The sea flow'd farther then we see it fills For as my Lord doth peace and peace appear It drowns the dust to make the passage clear Then do the Callaughs make the Pipers play And dance in dozens to delight the day The countrey children meet in millions too And at your welcome make as much ado And tatling tells when they to knowledge come They will be witness of this welcome home Ev'n so the Shepherds now forsake the sheep With oaten Piffers plays them all asleep The silly lambs lie sacrificed too To make you welcome so you see they do And if in Ireland were there such things here Inspir'd with poison should there such appear But that St. Patrick put them all away To bid you welcome they would dance to day But then of all these divers kinds of calls I most admire the meanest animals That make a noise to welcome you and lo Your Lordships coming cause the cripples go The sick and lame have left the Hospitalls Beggers and Cripples play busie with the balls Hippocrates and Paracelsus sure Nor Galen neither gave so great a cure As all of these by getting you do grant They get and think hence they shall hardly want Thus men and women beasts birds all are bent Your Excellence convene a Parliament And so proclaim by carrying a Crown This Days triumph with Trophies of renown To eternize to after times the story Of such a welcome and illustrious glory But best of all our Pastors preach and pray Mornings and Ev'nings almost all the day And all the people nigh to the Pulpit press Where with their pray'rs divinely they address Themselves with thanks and that is sure the best Beseeming welcome ev'n of all the rest The Organs also make a sacred sound Ev'n so the Anthems solemnly redound Devoutly too so that I think I see And hear the Saints assist our melodie Thus all are willing with a fair pretence To bow before your Honours Excellence And bid you welcome you whose virtues won Englands Great Monarch mounted on the throne There to assign the ordering of all This Islads glorious Grandieur great and small You whose great wit could weigh the scale cast A loyal Lot now thirty season past And now your native Nation no more mov'd With barbarous broils behold how it behov'd To condescend and see you sent away The Sovereign sword in Ireland for to sway Transporting whom may I not truly tell How Neptunes pride by piece and piece did swell To see himself so trusted to receive Your Excellence upon his watry wave Loth to deliver such a Loyal Lord To Irelands evils being once aboard Though for its bliss he was content to bring A Lord Lieutenant to so great a King But since I see the main design is but To bid you welcome therefore I shall shut My thoughts ev'n so with saying welcome too But would the world sav welcome that will do Nothing indeed in substance nor in sence Worthy to welcome your most Excellence The only welcome therefore I 'le allow Is speech in constant pray'rs to welcome you Wherefore I offer sacrifice of praise My Lord is landed and shall shortly raise My praise unto a Diapasons pitch Tickling mens ears when they the stringe shall twitch The sound whereof sure shall ascend on high In thankful pray'rs for your Excellency But to break off here must my Muse remain Illustrious Heros welcome once again Millions of mortals singing Sonets say Cesar triumphs and we have woon they day Verbum Sapienti THis welcome sure of sweet things is made up But yet some knavery may be in the cup And though with these I make so much ado Pills gilded may be packt with poyson too Fish had far better be without that bait A golden hook may choak them with a cheat My meaning is when friendship was profest A jugling Iudas did betray the best NOw seven Epistles such as they are I enter Wherewith in weakness wise advice I venter Or are they fables which fill up the paper If so the buyer buyes my Book the cheaper To light his Pipes hath paper here in plenty He saves enough by Verbum sapienti Provided that as he the pipe pursues He also Verbum sapienti use 1. Epistle MArk my discourse but construe right the case Some Ghostly Father flattering in your face Will with a kiss come striving to destroy Your enterprises if you such imploy But you in prudence will be pleas'd to see Precepts exprest from such a tool as me Whereby the baseness which be practis'd here May partly to your Excellence appear Fools may by fortune let such phrases fly As wise men may mark something by the by But these distracted with distress I doe Humbly here offer to your Lordship now For if each Iudas should enjoy a cord In loyalty I love to serve my Lord And these send forth before some things supprest For present I in time may tell the rest 2. Epistle THe thing call'd Verbum sapienti sleeps Within a place that 's private but it peeps For to perceive your Excellence apart To speak of Verbum sapienti s art And in the hour the hurly burly's over That you can try conversion tricks and trover I mean not things my self concerning so But griev'd to see such subtil gamesters go With great designs yet were my Lord at leisure Then I shall pay the tythe our of my treasure Presuming too ten thousand tens to twenty My Lord saith Thank you Verbum sapienti 3. Epistle As fish at flies things I on sudden snap Nex● time my hook may hit hurt perhap My feathers forc'd to strike as steel at flint And I am pl●as'd to prove a fool in print To tell the errors of the time and try Whether the fault lies in a knave and cry Whore first and so in season serve my Lord This Earnest peny
