but behold See thousands on the shore Throwing away their treasures and their store That all those things exceed the joys by water So much that men admire to see the matter Buildings are empty streets are standing bare Windows are open with the Cages there Where Parrots prattle and keep such a spruttle The pretty sparrows tattle too and truttle The shops are slighted much now in a maze All men admiring what is meant by these And which is more the Masters make it play The boys give blessings to this holy-day But I have done with things concern the City Shall tell you stories twenty times more pretty And all for nothing but to let you know That all sing welcome to my Lord for lo The towring hills on tiptoes stand and stare To see above us what brave things are there The stony rocks stand as they could not stir The herds and flocks too murmure and demur The very Bees about the holes are humming All things rejoyce your Excellence is coming Nor do they care who buyes the bargain dearest But stiives and struggles who may-now be nearest Will you resolve through Ireland for to ride Your Excellence is sure to see a guide The country Clowns to welcome you will venter With Docha Dorros where you cannot enter The wildest stags stand instantly intic'd And for your sake they will be sacrific'd The feather'd fowls fall down and do not fly But for to feast you are content to die Fairies in flocks upon the spangled hills Hearing your welcome dance and feast their fills Yet not content with all I here have told You shall see more Sir by a thousand fold But that the atoms are so in the air The day draws dark you cannot see things there The pride of prancing horses with their heels Raise such a dust that all the riders reels The ratling of the Coaches keep a noise The laquies laughing and the little boys About the Hackneys they keep such a crying The haughty horses naturally are neighing For joy that just unless you are so near You shall not see though doubtless you may The trumpets sound the echoes answer them The bells ring out so do the drums proclaim Their pleasures and the Castle Cannons roar The City shakes as dancing doth a dore This day ev'n so the Ensigns fan and fly As flourishing before a Deity I know not how to compass nor contract So many welcoms such a st●r they make They come not on in order but they run To weave the web before the weft be spun The men go mad as vanisht from their wit With overjoy and just now in the fit All things rejoyce and joyfully proclaim Your welcome but believe not half of them The women also willingly
