To the Common-Councel and Court of Aldermen.

And You brave Citizens, so Rich and Wise,
(The Boons of Heavens, due to Loyalties)
Heaven marks them who from Allegiance stray,
(With Children, Wits, or Fortunes quite awry.)
You that hold th' Rains, curb the head-strong Jaws
Of Asses kickt at Governours and Laws;
You know that Trade doth still most profit bring,
To them are true to God, and to their King;
Long may You live, and may the Town and Court
Be happy in the prayers of my poor heart;
May no King want such Citizens, I pray,
Nor Towns-men Prince, like him they now enjoy.
