<L>The King with all his Noble train,</L>
<L>prepared is to goe likewi&s;e,</L>
<L>In Royal pomp to entertain.</L>
<L>his Con&s;ort, and to &s;olemnize,</L>
<L>That happy day,</L>

<L>With one accord.</L>
<L>Crabe all of the Lord,</L>
<L><HI>to ble&s;&s;e our gracious King and Queen.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>A happy moneth of <HI>May</HI> we had,</L>
<L>when as our King to <HI>London</HI> came,</L>
<L>It made all faithful &s;ubjects glad,</L>

</LG>
<LG>
<L>That Cavaliers may all be paid,</L>
<L>and Traytors too have their de&s;ert,</L>

<L>I think there's few will take their part,</L>

<L>That yet are our foes,</L>
<L>and longs to &s;&eacute;e this Kingdom wa&s;t:</L>
