And you brave Heroes whose grave counsels waite Upon the high designments of the State And who skill'd in the Laws do first amend And then the burden of their rule defend So that stout Atlas is not said more even With a strong shoulder to prop up the heaven You steere the English you the Pilots are You sit at prow and poope in peace and war While you do seek Charybdis sad to fly And would put off the Rocks of Monarchy With safe and gentle gales you change the Scene And make a Sate where Monarchy hath beene Thus free from danger at the last in health Arrives i th' port a happy Common-wealth Tell me ye Muses in your milder Vein To sing these changes what must be my strain These joy'd retreates no verse can truly sing Cromwells return doth nought but raptures bring Til now the earth groan'd through the weight of war Scarce was the care of cattell use of share The fields were barren and did uselessly Through the neglect of ceasing Husbandry Wisdom was out of date had no regard Minerva and the Muses small reward The pious Prophets little leasure had With warlike tumults being made afraid Such and the like displeasures alwayes are Attendants on the rage of kindled war Cromwell but thou thy Countryes hope and care Pious in Peace and politick in war The present age their glory reads in him And the amazement of succeeding time Hast shut up Janus place with treble gates And strongly call'd back Peace from lower shades Whence to the Rulers both and people brought Shewes better times to those that better sought Hence to us English springeth up new bliss And just reward to learning promis'd is Parnassian Laurell will put forth new shoots The mourning Muses will retune their Lutes To sing new verses no less doth the State Arms being laid aside grown moderate Revive and rise again even from her urne At thy so wished thy so joy'd returne Feeling her changed reines she doth implore That Tyrants never her may ravish more Religion saw thee come and hasted hither Mercy and Piety met thee together And here began to settle Justice too Came back from heaven and here her self did shew And banisht from our English Coasts those jarres Which breeding factions had commenced warres As the Sun entring th' Agenorian signe The happy Planet doth the earth refine And the celestiall vertue quickning th' earth Begins new pledges for a tender birth So doth blest England flourish joy'd while shee Her Generall returning safe did see The dancers leap'd the Musick sweetly playde The warlike Trumpet too rejoycing
