door Dowries escheated by new Martial Lawes Of such whose husbands stood not for the Cause The rights confiâ—cated of those whose Sites Would not add fewel to the Publick fires Could none of these nor the rule ore the Maine Nor yet all th' Indian Ships tempt thee to gain Could not th' Exchequer all the banks of Fâ—te Polite slights to drain money from the State Could not that Silver-coyne whose Vertue moves All humane hearts and ciments fast their loves Could not illustrious Gold such wonder breeds As the full noon-sight of Sols glorious Steeds Nor all the wealth three Kingdoms can disburse Move thee t' adore the Idol of the purse Could not th' applausive breath did so contest To lift thee up higher then all the rest Delight of having thy Worth be in story The sole Artificer of thine own glory Pleasure of being esteem'd that regent Light Opens and shuts to others day and night Could no magnificent or pompous thing Fix on thy will the Title of a King But what thy Conscience wisely dictates to thee Must be thy law and onely serve to wooe thee But that what was decree'd above you must Resolve to execute and right the just But that what ere oppos'd or tempted thee Must spur the faster to thy first decree Bright Seraphim of Love each humane sense Is ravisht with thy super excellence Love whose pure flames have so divine a Birth T' have nourishment from ought's ally'd to Earth Such love where goodness sweetly is imprest And whose free kindness makes all th' interest Excellence where no higher worth can be But what 's the sole just right of Soveraignty Sâ—ch excellence where loyal duty reigns Aud captive Nature's kept in Golden chaiâ—â— Look from thy height and see how all things show At this great distance from thee here below See how this sordid Earth under thy tread Towers as our hearts false Heaven above our head See how strangely that patch transforms our nature Till 't hideous seem and frightful in each feature See how that crowd of atomes blinds our sight That all thy glorys beames scarce lend us light How like Night or some gloomy Cloud that lies Between their splendid lustre and our eyes How here like Mermidons w'appear while they Heighten that Sun spreads out our brightest day This high stupendious charge you have alone To give a greater power then you own Thy priviledge had ever man before That mayest thy hearts Image make and adore With miracle you spread out Glorys wings To raie such beams give glory unto Kings Solely to have a power to thee given T' anoint on Earth one in the place of Heaven Those inspir'd with unknown new lights of grace Even to take the Lords Annointed's place Who howsoever large and wide thrones spread Rounding them all to model their own head New form'd new nam'd them made great Mountaines plain And all but th' own heights level as their brain Who while they acted what was just and meete Were power'd to set Justice under their feet Fully commanded her and with their word Made her give them the measure of her sword who 'd right to wrong like those great Princes rove I'th'air defying all the powers above Such Boanerges were our ages wonder Whose Swords stampt Laws their fire mouths voic't with thunder Such great Salmonei would like Joves appear And speak us terrour from their Brazen sphear Such the Gods overawing Titans strove To win the prize of Heaven and conquer Jove Could none of these sublime undaunted Spirits Invite thee to th' example of their merits Blaze like them and when you 'd have lifes blaze out Command as Othe your own sword to do 't Or as the Brazen head with your own breath And the Times in your mouth encounter Death Worship'd you not their honour cause Virtue Had with her Temple here lost all her due Was 't your pittie to see our Hectors slain And in their friends to torture dragg'd again Tâ—â— Amalthaeas plenty all pour'd out And made the daily surfeit of the rout To see the Devil steal our hearts with lies And say Truth 's mouth gives out his Oracles Our floating Isle like the Tirrhenus stone Sâ—e broken sink under Rebellion To see Mordorus and Epirus turn Gods Camps and Pallaces into their Urne Eâ—ch precious thing was sacred and divine Plunder with rage and cast as Pearle to swine See Piety bestuck with wounds all'ore And languishing lye weltring in her gore Like him so left by Theeves and dying lay While no Samaritan must pass the way To see Truth lie like Lazarus diseas'd And torn by Dogs by whom she should bin eas'd To see England surrounded by the Sea Lie bleeding in each vein like Seneca See Statesmen would as Nero virtuous seem In their hearts and acts bloody bee as him And to their native Country prove no other Then did that Monster-Tyrant to his Mother To see our Soveraignes fires buried lye Under th' Ashes ere he be like to dye To see our Realms life dayes light Phoebus run So long about the Earth without the Sun See while the Rusticks in the Vineyard rant The Royal Heir in Exile and in Want Such thoughts as these made thee breath thick with fears And with thy Beams ray down a shower of tears Breath thick with flames of love that from within Thy breast break and consume our World of Sin Made thy heart sink into each bended knee And vow t' advance Heaven and his Majestie To force all yield to thy Commanâ—ing word Conquer thy self and then lay down thy Sword It was your greater courage thus to faint And quit your Conqu'rous name to triumph Saint As George before they only stiled you Their Champion but they 'l Canonize you now You safe within need now fear none without you Being protected by your George
