UPON Her Majesties, the Queen MOTHER Return into England, in October, 1660.
GReat Queen of vertue, and of all that's good,
VVho never yet was rightly understood:
Can you the wrongs you have receiv'd, forget?
You must be more then woman, to do it:
Nay if such sins by you, can be fo giv'n,
'Tis more Great soul, then we can hope from Heav'n.
And yet we've mo•e then hopes, you can and will,
Or else in France, you woo'd have stayed still:
And not have ventur'd, o're this Ocean more,
But that you had a mind, to clear our score:
And wipe away, all sorrow from our eyes,
As fogs do vanish, when the Sun does rise.
Great Star! which from th' East and by South dost come,
How much are we engaged to thy womb!
Thy fruitful womb, that with no little pain,
Hast stockt our Iland, with no little gain.
Three Princes, which the world so much admire,
And we at last, with Reason do desire.
Two Beauties too; they must not be forgot,
VVhom Christendom admires, the like has not.
Welcome Great Queen, welcome to our shore,
I fear to make amends, we shall adore
Your sacred Presence, since that ever since,
We have been curst, that you were forced hence.
