<HEAD>ENGLAND's Over-Joy
AT THE
Duke of Monmouth's Return:</HEAD>
<BYLINE>By the Author of ENGLANDS Lamentation for his Departure: Reflecting on his Heroick Actions.</BYLINE>
<LG>
<L>_THIS Morn, as in my Bed I &s;lee|ping
lay,</L>
<L>When bu&s;y Dreams led my
mind a&s;tray:</L>
<L>Methought I on <HI>Parna&s;&s;us</HI> top
did &s;tand,</L>
<L>Where the Nine Si&s;ters, each
with Harp in Hand,</L>
<L>As their grand Ma&s;ter <HI>Phoebus</HI>
did in&s;pire,</L>
<L>Sung <HI>Monmouths</HI> Welcome to the tuneful <HI>Lyre:</HI></L>
<L>And as thy &s;ung, one kinder than the re&s;t,</L>
<L>Breathing a gentle Heat, o'r all my Brea&s;t,</L>
<L>Cry'd, Rouze, for &s;hame, and trail thy la&s;y Pen,</L>
<L>For the Brave <HI>Monmouth</HI> is return'd agen,</L>
<L>The Valiant <HI>Monmouth,</HI> to whom this our I&s;le</L>
<L>Is more oblig'd than <HI>Aegypt</HI> unto <HI>Nile.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>With that (for who could &s;uch a CALL with&s;tand?)</L>
<L>Unskillfull as I was, I took in hand</L>
<L>My &s;cribling In&s;trument, Willing to pay</L>
<L>An uncouth Off'ring to this welcome day,</L>
<L>Welcome indeed, when &s;uch good News it bears,</L>
<L>As is of Force to bani&s;h all our Fears:</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>What, my dear <HI>Britons,</HI> to that Angel's due!</L>
<L>Who always has &s;o careful been of you?</L>
<L>As not to let tho&s;e <HI>Daemons</HI> of the Land</L>
<L>De&s;troy and ruin you, but was at hand,</L>
<L>And did with timely diligence remove</L>
<L>The Dangers that hung threatning from above;</L>
<L>And hath di&s;pell'd the CLOUD which threatn'd NIGHT,</L>
<L>Hiding the Glorious <HI>Monmouth</HI> from your &s;ight:</L>
<L><HI>Monmouth!</HI> whom we like Merchants that have lo&s;t</L>
<L>Jewels of weighty Value, and great co&s;t,</L>
<L>If ere they find them, doe e&s;teem them more,</L>
<L>Than ever they were wont to do before.</L>
<L>Have you not &s;een after a cloudy Day,</L>
<L>The ri&s;ing Sun next Morn appear more gay?</L>
<L>As though he had withdrawn his dimmer Light,</L>
<L>Only to deck him&s;elf with Rayes more bright:</L>
<L>So <HI>Monmouth</HI> to inrich him&s;elf withdrew,</L>
<L>That he might come again more dear to you.</L>
<L>Let then your JOYS be great as were your FEARS,</L>
<L>For HE the Noble <HI>Monmouth</HI> now appears:</L>
<L>Go, Bid him welcom from the <HI>Belgick</HI> &s;hore,</L>
<L>And con&s;ecrate the Yatch that brought him o're;</L>
<L>Let it be Sacred, as <HI>DRAKE's</HI> famous Boat,</L>
<L>Which round the watry Univer&s;e did float;</L>
<L>As &s;acret as the Ship that brought the Fleece</L>
<L>Of Gold, which <HI>Ja&s;on</HI> &s;tole from <HI>Greece:</HI></L>
<L>For none did e're a richer Trea&s;ure bring;</L>
<L>Except that &s;hip which brough Great <HI>Charles</HI> our KING.</L>
