The DUKE's Welcom from Scotland to London.
ART come, Sweet Prince? Wilt' once more daign to chearWith Thy Bright Beams our drooping Hemi∣sphere?Can nothing check thy Love, suppress thy Flame?Still England's Guardian Angel? Still the same?Redoubled wrongs on Thee, the Crown, and State,Can only move Thy Pity, not Thy Hate;Who Good for Evil dost Retaliate.Thy tender Heart, and soft-loves conquer'd WillPlead this, (though bad) This is thy Country still.Relaps'd into Her former Agony,Gasping Britannia seeks relief from Thee.Scotland that once contagious Vip'rous Land,Doth now our Envy and Example stand;Charm'd by thy prudent Head, and gentle hand.Under his Vine each chearful Swain doth sit,The Serpent's crush'd that once demolish'd it▪

Where Hemlock, Wormwood, Tares and Weeds, did grow,Now in full plenty Milk & Honey flow.Thrice Happy Land•• May our invenom'd SenseWith Treasons, Poyson, feel the InfluenceOf this all-healing Planet; May we seeAll Hearts and Hands conjoyn'd in Loyalty.May all Associating Traitors know,Divinity dwells on a Soveraign Brow.May those ungrateful Wretches who ContemnMercy, find Justice in the Diadem.Great York, in all things Great; Great in Re∣nown;Great in Succession's Right to Englands Crown;Great in thy Conduct; Great in Peace and War;Great in thy Birth; In Virtue Greater far.But above all, Great in this Mighty thing,In thy firm Love and Duty to the KING.Welcom Sweet Prince, Let sober Healths go round,And all (but Regicides) thy Praise resound.
