Upon the Departure of His GRACE James Duke of Monmouth To all Protestant well-wishers 1679 AH Can he go and no one shed a Tear For him who never thought his Life too dear To hazard to protect us from our Foes As his late Victories in Scotland showes Holland and France will Trumpet forth his Fame Until they each of them shall want a Name And shall we be less Grateful to that Prince Whose daily Actions does the World convince Are only squared for the common good For which he 'le venture Fortune Life and Blood Let Protestants a sorrow now contrive To shew his absence they can scarce Survive Let England lament untill it be Turned into a weeping Niobe And with their servent Sighs keep full his Sails With Loyal safe and the most prosp'rous Gayls And let their Tears into the Sea resort To waft him safely to his Royal Port. And may their daily prayr's to Heaven be That he may scape all Dangers of the Sea May his most Royal Father live to see Him or'e his Foes obtain sole Victory And be a pattern to his Royal Son In what he hath so worthily begun And may he in due time with all renoun Enjoy the Favours Fortune tumbles down May this and all the happiness that can Be bounded in the boundless heart of Man Attend the Noble Monmouth May he be Still our Defence and Scourge to Popery May thy Great Soul Great Prince like active Fire The more deprest more vig'rous and rise higher Which like a Ball thrown hard against the Ground Rises much more upon a fair rebound May still the Charms of thy Eternal Fame Convince thy Foes of an immortal shame May thy high Actions of thy Great Renoun Shake and destroy the Roman Triple Crown May Heav'n and Earth both thy possessions be And may thy Bliss last to Eternity Great Prince and Patron now we must submit Our present Lives to what the Fates think fit Yet this we boldly dare affirm as true None but your Royal Father Sir and you Can keep our half dead gasping souls alive He whil'st he lives and you whil'st you survive May our Great God protect his happy Reign To see you once return with Joy again To be Assistant to the Royal Will Of our Dear Sov'raign Faith's Defender still Which Princely Monmouth we with Tears implore Daily and Hourly at Heav'ns Christal Dore. Our Pray's shall never cease until God grants This Christian-wish of all true Protestants FINIS
