TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE Duke of YORK, Returning from our Naval Victory, over the Hollanders, June 3. Ann. 1665. Under His Royal Highnesses hap∣py conduct.

GReater and famouser then ere Cesar or Alexander were, Renown'd by land as well as they, And now far more Renown'd by sea. What those great Hero's could not do, He has both done, and out-done too; Far more belov'd of Heaven then they To whome both Waves and Winds obey, Till Empire of the Seas we get, No victory can be compleat: For Land and Sea make but one Ball, They had but half, he has it all. No more let vain Batavians boast, The Watry Empire they have lost,

Rebbels by Sea, as once by Land, If now they obey not his command: Nor think themselves and State undone, Because by him they'r overcome, It is a kind of Victory To be o'rcome by such as he. Increast in stile, we well may call Him (now) the whole worlds Admirall, Whilst mighty Charles with Trident stands, And like some God the Sea commands. Great Prince! the honour of our days And utmost bound of humane praise, Having by Land and Seas o'rcome; What now remains but to come home: And fixed in our Brittish Sphere, Shine a bright Constellation there, Greater and famouser then e're Caesar or Alexander were,
