<HEAD>A Worthy Kings De&s;cription.</HEAD>
<ARGUMENT>
<LG>
<L>Both Country and City give ear to this ditty,</L>
<L>Whil&s;t that I the prai&s;es &s;ing,</L>
<L>And fame his honour out doth Ring,</L>
<L>That be&s;t de&s;erveth to wear the Crown;</L>
<L>For Worth there's none can put him down</L>
<L>And this is no flattering, to de&s;cribe a worthy King;</L>
<L>His Subjects here their de&s;ires explain,</L>
<L>De&s;iring that he may enjoy his own again.</L>
</LG>
</ARGUMENT>

<L>BRave news there is I under&s;tand,</L>
<L>Brought by one that late did land,</L>
<L>Many that heretofore were &s;ad,</L>
<L>Their hearts full merry are, and glad,</L>
<L>And rejoice for his &s;ake,</L>
<L>That amends will us make,</L>
<L>And will plea&s;e us all as then,</L>
<L>for he that we did lack</L>
<L>is now returning back</L>
<L><HI>For to enjoy his own again.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Fair <HI>England</HI> will be well content</L>
<L>With the chief of men in government,</L>
<L>When the Churches Champion &s;miles upon her,</L>
<L>Earths Maje&s;ty and Natures honour;</L>
<L>His foes unto him he will draw,</L>
<L>Hee's the director of the Law.</L>
<L>And the Nations Rights he will maintain:</L>
<L>the&s;e things will appear</L>
<L>before the next new year.</L>
<L><HI>When the King enjoys his own again.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When the Scepter of mercy he doth hold,</L>
<L>And true Iu&s;tice doth unfold,</L>
<L>And when he doth his own imbrace,</L>
<L>There you may &s;ee the gla&s;s of grace,</L>
<L>And the terrour of Trea&s;on</L>
<L>Which is but Rea&s;on.</L>
<L>The poor mans Cau&s;e he will maintain;</L>
<L>no man can this deny,</L>
<L>h&eacute;e's the life of <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="OXF" EXTENT="2 letters">yalty,</L>
<L><HI>When that he enjoys, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>His command if Right is without di&s;pute,</L>
<L>Then will his power be ab&s;olute:</L>
<L>In him Wi&s;dome is very rife,</L>
<L>And his favour will lengthen life;</L>
<L>His Subjects his charge will be,</L>
<L>And his care for their &s;afety.</L>
<L>This plea&s;ure will true peace maintain,</L>
<L>which we &s;hall prove</L>
<L>his joy to be our love,</L>
<L><HI>When the King, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>His wi&s;dome is not to be paralel'd</L>
<L>By all that e're the Scepter held,</L>
<L>'cau&s;e it is without all equallity,</L>
<L>We hope no man can this deny:</L>
<L>He is of great renown,</L>
<L>And be&s;t de&s;erves the Crown;</L>
<L>For why he hat<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="OXF" EXTENT="1 letter"> mo&s;t right to raign,</L>
<L>thus &s;aith the Trump of fame</L>
<L>that he de&s;erves the &s;ame,</L>
<L><HI>For to enjoy, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>If for the &s;ame he be appointed,</L>
<L>And he be call'd the Lords anointed;</L>
<L>Like a King he mu&s;t be &s;erved,</L>
<L>Add be tenderly pre&s;erved:</L>
<L>Then he the head mu&s;t be</L>
<L>Of the publick body:</L>
<L>If that his right he doth regain,</L>
<L>he will tender of us be</L>
<L>if that we live to &s;ee</L>
<L><HI>Him to enjoy, &amp;c.</HI></L>

<L>HE<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="OXF" EXTENT="1 letter">s a ble&s;&s;ing over his people by plate,</L>

<L>He is no forreign Conqueror,</L>

</LG>
<LG>
<L>And for to chear his Subjects &s;adne&s;&s;e,</L>

<L>But his civill Court adorned,</L>

<L>What righfull thing by him is &s;aid,</L>

<L>One thing cannot be denied.</L>

<L>then let our prayers be</L>
<L>the&s;e happy days to &s;ee.</L>
<L><HI>That the King may enjoy, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Although a God he cannot be,</L>
<L>Hee's more then an ordinary man we &s;ee,</L>
<L>Wee do hope hee's &s;o divine,</L>
<L>That from the right h&eacute;e'l not decline.</L>
<L>Nor yet will he delay</L>
<L>Gods laws to obey,</L>

<L>when that men do &s;&eacute;e</L>
<L><HI>That the King, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I now crave pardon for this bold thing,</L>
<L>For de&s;cribing of a worthy King,</L>
<L>And heartily for him will pray</L>
<L>Vnto the Lord both night and day,</L>

<L>That he in this Land long time may Raign,</L>
