every future age Till the great year rebuilds the present Stage The Proverb said that England were it try'd Could no where match that Garden in Cheap-side Till the unfitness was by Tichbourn found Who set that Eden in more holy ground Let but the Proverb go for Prophecy And who can give our Grandames teeth the lie The Flowers of Noble Gentry which our eyes There saw did prove it Englands Paradice That Winter under which so long they lay Strength'ning their Roots for the ensuing May Proud to be Garlands for what greater grace Our Tree of life who in the Middle was Under whose Shadow long may England dwell Tasting the sweet Fruits of his ruling well May he be a Forbidden fruit no more By Flaming Swords which kept the way before But let perennal happiness flow thence To his dominions circumference As he that day the centre did appear Scattering his lustre round the Theater All the Stars of which orb must needs confess That this Sun lent them all their noble dress And that the Names and Titles which they bear Begin with these two Capitals C.
