<L>GO on, <HI>My Lords,</HI> and pro&s;per: Go, repair</L>
<L>To Court; and Ki&s;s the Hands of the TR&V;E HEIR</L>
<L>Of Five&s;core Kings and Ten, Four Diadems,</L>
<L>And Kingdoms Three: <HI>an Heir,</HI> who&s;e Royal Stems</L>
<L>From <HI>Briti&s;h, Saxon, Dani&s;h, Norman</HI> Blood;</L>
<L>With <HI>Scots</HI> and <HI>Iri&s;h,</HI> makes <HI>His</HI> Title good</L>
<L>'Gain&s;t all <HI>Seclu&s;ion.</HI> And who&s;e Entry's ble&s;t</L>
<L>With an au&s;picious Peace, and <HI>He</HI> po&s;&s;e&s;t</L>
<L>O' th' Thrones of <HI>His</HI> Ance&s;tors, without &s;tirr</L>
<L>From any di&s;contented &s;narling Curr.</L>
<L><HI>An Heir refu&s;'d</HI> (but by no Builders) &s;trange,</L>
<L>Is now Chief Corner-&s;tone! O happy change,</L>
<L>And ne'r a Sword Un&s;heath'd! Lo, <HI>Slighted He,</HI></L>
<L>Seems &s;trangely by the Pares, ordain'd to be</L>
<L>The <HI>Ba&s;is</HI> of Our <HI>Re&s;t:</HI> Let tho&s;e go pry,</L>
<L>Who hidden Virtues &s;ay, in Numbers ly,</L>
<L>What Speaks the <NOTE N="*" PLACE="foot">The number of an hundreth and eleven, when Ciphered, is but the first Figure in Arithmetick, by po&s;ition thus thrice repeated (III) and which, by advancing of the middlemo&s;t, after this manner di&s;po&s;ed I^II makes, when hand&s;omly in right angles conjoyned, a &s;traight cornered aequilateral Triangle &utri; and &s;uch is reckoned to be the fir&s;t Figure in Geometrie (paralell Lines without &s;ome clo&s;ing Ligament, never being lookt upon as any denominated Figure) and this Triangle is &s;aid to be in Architecture, of all adi&s;icial Super&s;tructures, the fir&s;t truest and firme&s;t <HI>Ba&s;is</HI> whence the <HI>Grecians</HI> denominated a King <GAP DESC="foreign">. Again, tick me but here the Arith|metical Figure above-mentioned, and what made ju&s;t now an hundreth and eleven <HI>(III)</HI> &s;hall by vertue of the numerical Letter <HI>I,</HI> thus dwindle down to three <HI>(iii)</HI> which multiplied by it &s;elf, makes <HI>9.</HI> and that &s;o multiplied by it &s;elf al&s;o, gives the quadrat <HI>81.</HI> whereunto add its root, the fir&s;t quadrat <HI>9,</HI> and the product is <HI>90.</HI> Which being in like manner added to the former hundreth and eleven, there comes forth <HI>201.</HI> where ca&s;ting away the interjected Cypher, the two &s;ignificant Figures remaining, do by addition re|turn back to the fir&s;t Root afore-mentioned <HI>3. (iii)</HI> Come then, and compt me from <HI>Hengi&s;t,</HI> by <HI>Egbert,</HI> to the <HI>Conquerour</HI> down, and you'll find of <HI>Saxon</HI> Monarchs, and Kings of <HI>England 35.</HI> add the three interpo&s;ed <HI>Dani&s;h</HI> Kings, with all from the <HI>Conquerour</HI> to His pre&s;ent <HI>MAJESTY</HI> (which maks <HI>26.</HI>) &s;o you have in all, of <HI>Saxons, Danes</HI> and <HI>Normans, 64.</HI> for <HI>England.</HI> Then waft but over with <HI>Hendry</HI> the <HI>Second</HI> to <HI>Ireland,</HI> where you may find of <HI>Lords</HI> and <HI>Kings</HI> thereof, before our <HI>SOVERAIGN 22.</HI> which added to the former <HI>64.</HI> &s;wells in all for both <HI>England</HI> and its Conquered <HI>Ireland,</HI> to <HI>86,</HI> Add again this to the <HI>Scots III.</HI> you have <HI>197.</HI> then &s;tate me here our <HI>LEIDGE-LORD,</HI> who now Reigns, Still one in the Catalogue, a&s;well of the <HI>Saxon, Da|ni&s;h, Norman,</HI> and <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> Princes (for all <HI>SECLUSION</HI> mu&s;t be now out of Doors) and you cannot mi&s;s to make <HI>4.</HI> add this to the Li&s;t of the <HI>Princes</HI> departed <HI>197.</HI> and you have upon a ju&s;t Calcu|lation, exactly ad-aequated the former mentioned number of <HI>201.</HI> and if you can but in this cryptick way of compting, allow the three ticks to pa&s;s for Crowns, &s;ee then but, reflect, and con&s;ider, by what &s;trange and my&s;terious <HI>Algebra,</HI> this our <HI>Hundreth and eleventh KING,</HI> may be &s;aid, and is found to be, <GAP DESC="foreign">, the&s;e his three Kingdoms of <FIGURE>

<L>What's true, and Bearded-men what's Loyal Greek.</L>
<L><HI>A Riddle,</HI> open'd with a thinking Skill,</L>

<L>Then, tell this <HI>Mighty Monarch;</HI> tell, <HI>My Lords,</HI></L>
<L>In plain, unfeigned, and with hearty Words;</L>
<L>That CALEDONIA was <HI>His</HI> before,</L>

<L>Re&s;pect for <HI>Fergus,</HI> and his Race <HI>She</HI> hopes,</L>
<L>Shall (maugre <HI>A&s;aph</HI>) flouri&s;h &s;till for Propes</L>
<L>Of Bli&s;s and Peace to the whole I&s;le. Tell <HI>JAMES,</HI></L>
<L><HI>She</HI> nouri&s;ht <HI>Six</HI> before of the &s;ame <HI>Names;</HI></L>
<L>And knows that <HI>He,</HI> a Nur&s;ing-father will</L>

<L>Tell <HI>Him,</HI> and tell but Truth, that <HI>She</HI> Condoles</L>
<L>There be wild Rogues, who skulk from Holes to Holes,</L>
<L>And call Her <HI>Mother;</HI> whom <HI>She</HI> doth di&s;claim</L>

<L>Such, and all &s;uch, <HI>She</HI> holds and deems as Foes.</L>
<L>But as the faire&s;t Face may have &s;ome Wren;</L>
<L>So the&s;e black Spots, tho&s;e cur&s;'d unhallowed Men,</L>
<L><HI>She</HI> hopes Her <HI>JAMES,</HI> by Your mo&s;t prudent Care,</L>

<L>May in <HI>His</HI> &s;ight appear; &s;ince <HI>She</HI> can tell,</L>
<L>That CALEDONIA loves the <HI>ST&V;ARTS</HI> well.</L>
<L>Nay, tell <HI>Him</HI> all <HI>Her</HI> Thoughts; tell, what is fit</L>
<L>For <HI>Him</HI> to know of <HI>Her:</HI> So &s;hall <HI>You</HI> knit</L>
