Joyfull. v. Glad. J••y Publick. v. Shout. Noise.
The Palace with the peop••e•• praises rings,
And sacred joy in every bosome sp••ings.
The people that in shoals do swim,
Walls window••, ooft, ••owers, steeples, all were set
With severall eyes that in this object met.
Children uncapable to all mens thinking,
Were d••unk with joy, as others were with drinking,
And st••ik••s the heavens with sound of trembling bells.
The Vocal G••ddesse leaving d••sart woods,
Sl••des down the Dales, and dancing on the floods
Observes our woods, and wi••h repeating noise
Contends to double our abundant joyes.
Mirth digs her pits in every che••k.
To bury grief and sorrow, Casheer all care, and chear the foolish, soul
