FORTY full Years King Solomon had Reign'd;
The praise of all his Subjects he had gain'd.
Then with his Fathers this good King did sleep,
Now Rehoboam doth his Scepter keep.
So the Succession lasted many Years,
As by the Texts of Holy Writ appears.
The Son succeeds the Father, and one Brother,
By the same Method, doth succeed another.
A Sacred aw for Kings was then required;
And now, what is there more or less desired?

Let's love, and fear, and serve the Lord's A∣nointed.

Ev'n to Phanatick Foes, if Truth they'l speak,
They'l say, he's wise, he's zealous, just and meek.
Since we're so happy in our Sacred King,
Vive le Roy with one consent we'll sing.
