Churche's stately walls And leaves them not till all to ruine falls And our distress in this the greater was In that just Heaven had made our hands alas The active Instruments for to tear down Our own beloved Mansions to the ground This we pursu'd with eager forwardness And still our best endeavours lack'd success Our care our toyle our labour never ceas'd Nor did the fire but furiously increas'd Until by 'ts piercing heat and powerful flashes What ere it touch'd mouldred away to Ashes For now the fierce unbridl'd Flames presage That we shall know the extent of their rage Begets a universal Conflagration Greater than ever any Generation As yet ere knew or heard of Now it beats A broad path way into the spacious streets Roves up to CORNHIL where with force they range Until they overthrow the ROYAL-CHANGE That stately Fabrick and its STATUES rare Spoil'd and consum'd reduc'd to Ashes are But honouring Reverend GRESHAM'S Effigy Leaves him untoucht and gently passeth by Munday Night NOw did the Worlds bright Lamp the SUN expire And every STAR did to its Orb retire Whilst from the Fires foul stomack doth arise Dark smoaky Vapours to the troubled Skies And sometimes from its yawning throat are sent Bright Blazes to affright the Element It s ravenous Jaws feed on and chop down store Of slaughter'd Buildings and roar out for more When as its greedy teeth had gnawn off all About a Carcass down it lets it fall And thus with base unsatiate appetite In riotous spoils feasts on all day and night And now comes prancing to the POULTERY Commanding there a Goal-delivery That every pining Prisoner forthwith might His wish'd for Liberty enjoy that Night And so the strong built Walls its force did enter Which to oppose 't is bootless to adventure Thus in voracious manner crowding on With Blazes that anticipate the SUN Tuesday Morning THough Mellancholly Night had now flung by Her spangl'd Mantle yet the heavy Eye Of every watchful Mortal doth retain A cloudy Sorrow swol'n big with rain Tempestuous Sighs arise from every breast And GRIEF' 's sharp Iron-whip admits no rest And now the cruel Flames that did despise All other streams slight those fall from our Eyes O now the blazing and prodigious Fire Without remorse or pity doth conspire To lay our CITY desolate and waste And in regardless manner onwards past Through stately CHEAP on both sides of the way And in such haste as though it could not stay The shouting Wind pursues the Victory The Fire 's displaying Flames his Ensigns be Whilst blub-cheek'd BOREAS doth his Trumpet sound The affrighted Walls do totter and sink down To EOLUS rude conduct there are lent Of bright fac'd Souldiers a whole Regiment Whose flexive head his blustering voyce obey And in their march out-shine the Mid-Noon day And thus they bend their fierce course to'ards the West With flaming Feather in each glittering Crest The dreadful Blaze appearing unto some T'assimulate th' approaching DAY OF DOOME When all the World consum'd with Fire shall be And TIME give place unto ETERNITY Th'innumerous Sparks that fall like feathered Snow Like Heaven rejected STARS do seem to shew And the huge crowding Mountains of thick Smoke Like Heavens expanded Clouds appear to look And now it Roars Cracks Rends Murmurs and Raves Burying in ruines Sepulchers and Graves And with a perverse envious mind is bent Not to leave standing one fair Monument And to the lofty Bells of CORNHIL BOW That rung in pleasant Peals to us below And chanted Chiming Musick to each ear These Flames their strong ATLEAN Armes did Reer And soon as they on them their hot Palms lay Sink down with hear and like Lead melt away At length a horrid general Blaze appears With eager course onwards to'ards PAVLS it steers And there it rally'd all its Force and Pow'r And with extended Jaws gap'd to devour At once that stately TEMPLE which did stand So firmly propt by FAITHS supporting Hand To whose Tuition many Tradesmen chose To trust unvalu'd Wares and did 'em lose Their fond Belief accounted it to be Beneath the reach of Fires malignity When they before had seen its Force to rave From highest Loft down to the lowest Cave Now to this brave CATHEDRAL coming near Her Vail it rends doth her Immurements tear Staggers and sinks within its hot Embraces And this thus vanquish'd on in terror traces To LVD'S strong Gate and making there no stay Beat down the Prison Walls and went away Commanding in his march that every where At its approach all PRISONERS be set clear Thus in a Body terrible and wide Half a Miles breadth and more from Waters side It bussel'd up to FLEET-STREET coming there Each one now helpless grown quite hopeless are For that the Fire ere WEDNESDAY Sun did shine Of CHURCHES brave had ruin'd Eighty Nine The Fire affrighted SUBURBS now expects Their look'd for Desolation to be next Mantled in Flames for which they now prepare And of their Houses grown regardless are Now FEAR and DANGER do with trembling arms Conduct distracted People from the Harms The forked Flames do threat By Barge and Boat And some by Horse and Wain do lodge remote Their Goods for safety while that some bereft Of House by Fires cruelty are left In Desolation and Adversity And in the Fields are forc'd all night to lye And there contentedly take for a Bed The Earth Heaven for a Coverlett Tuesday Night NOw with the Sun the rambling Flames would rest And coming to St. DVNSTANS IN THE WEST Their twinkling eyes grown dimb with too much light Could scarcely see to bid the Day Good Night TITAN departed from our Hemisphere The greater Flames all slept save here and there Some Guardian Blazes lurk to call the rest ' Gainst such as should their slumbering infest Wednesday Morning THe Morning wakes and with the Morn the Fire Whose whispering voice seems softly to enquire For its lost Friend the Wind who stole away By Night i' th' dark not to be found next day The hungry Paunch of this voracious Flame Saving a morsel for its Breakfast came With reunited Vigour to assail The sweating TEMPLE and for to unvail The Leaden Tecture that o'respread her Head It s fierce Assault rais'd Cryes might wake the Dead People grown desperate and madly bold Resolve Resistance though the uncontroul'd Audacious threatning Flames forbid th' intent Of such as would its o're-grown Force prevent Engines prevail not Buckets do no good It s thirsty Mouth can guzzle up a Flood And still it s parched panting Tongue out cryes With greedy haste for larger quick Supplyes Now here admire the goodness of our KING Whose tender Heart bore SUBJECTS suffering The active Prudence and industrious Cares Th'uncessant Labors and the servent Pray'rs Of those two Royal Brothers CHARLS and JAMES At last effected Conquest 'bove the Flames The worthy Tears that trickle from the Eye Of his afflicted Sacred MAJESTY Prevail'd with Heaven whose fierce avenging Arm MERCY with-holds Strong Invocations charm His ireful Indignation Intreaties urge Appeased Heaven to fling by his Scourge The FIRE findes opposition is content To be deprest and so no farther went Wednesday Night WHile in the Field harborless People lye Warching their Goods by Night a sudden Cry Of ARMS salutes the Ear of every one Which way to go or whither for to run They know not now each one doth apprehend A certain Death the sudden Fear doth lend To some MERCVRIAN Feet and to some A Resolution for to dye at home But all appeas'd each one to rest betakes him Thursday Morning ANd now can lye until AVRORA wakes him Who with a smiling Aspect joys to see So much Abatement of our Misery And SOL advancing of his curled Head From th'ruddy Pillow of AVRORA'S Bed Vow'd he nere did since the ALMIGHTY said Let there be LIGHT and so himself was made Nor since his first Days Journey to the WEST Or Great JEHOVAH took his SEVENTH Days rest Behold so soon so great a Devastation In any AGE or COUNTREY TOWN or NATION As in THREE FATAL DAYES to ruinate To spoil consume destroy depopulate A Place so Famous so Renown'd for Glory That 't was the Mirror both of AGE and STORY Londons Lamentation to her regardless Passengers WHy do you slight me thus and pass me by Spurn my neglected dusty Misery You that have laid me in the fatal Vrn Of SIN and seen me there to ashes burn You that with crimson Crimes like Cables great Pull'd Vengeance on me and my happy state Have made thus wretched can you pass me by And yet not at my Ruines wet your eye If still thus unlamented be my Case The Wind it self shall hurl my Dust i' th' Face Of him that doth not with a dropping eye Sprinkle my Ashes when he passeth by Then let some deep-sought Sigh pump up a tear And help from dust my down-cast Head to rear All my Demolishments and ruin'd Glory My batter'd Immurations faln before you My prostrate Structures on their faces lye Yet every heedless Passenger walks by Regardless of my Moans although I meet In humble manner now their scornful feet Sa Wisem 273 Acres Waste
