His House with riches shall abound:
His truth with endless honour crown'd.
To him in darkness light ascends:
Mild, gracious, just in all his ends.
His bounty for the poor provides:
Discretion all his actions guides.
No violence shall cast him down;
No time deface his just renown;
Nor rumours shake his confidence:
The Lord his Hope, and strong Defence:
Confirm'd in fearless fortitude,
Till he have all his Foes subdu'd.
He the necessitated feeds.
The honour of his vertuous Deeds
Shall live in sacred memory;
His Glories shall ascend on high.
Th' unjust inrag'd their teeth shall grinde,
And languish with the grief of minde:
Pale envy shall their flesh consume,
And all their hopes convert to fume.
