<LG>
<L>UNder <HI>500</HI> KINGS Three Kingdoms grone:</L>
<L>Go <HI>F.</HI> Di&s;&s;olve them, <HI>CHARLES</HI> is in the Throne,</L>
<L>And by the Grace of God will Reign alone.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>What would the <HI>Commons</HI> have? the <HI>Royal Line</HI></L>
<L>Heaven does di&s;po&s;e of; Tis not Theirs, nor Mine,</L>
<L>But His by whom <HI>KINGS</HI> Rule, and are Divine.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I Repre&s;ent the <HI>KING</HI> of <HI>KINGS</HI> who gave,</L>
<L>The <HI>Crown,</HI> the <HI>Sword,</HI> the <HI>Scepter;</HI> What I have;</L>
<L>I am <HI>Gods Servant,</HI> not the Peoples Slave.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Their <HI>Frantick Votes,</HI> and <HI>Mad Re&s;olves</HI> I hate;</L>
<L>I know a better way to Heal a <HI>STATE,</HI></L>
<L>Than to <HI>Sin Ra&s;hly,</HI> and <HI>Repent too late.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Bid them be gone <HI>F.</HI> They are Damn'd Uncivil,</L>
<L>To oblige Me to follow them to th'Devil;</L>
<L>To Save Three Kingdoms I will not do Evil.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The <HI>Presbyterian</HI>'s Sick of too much Freedom,</L>
<L>Are ripe for <HI>Bethle'm;</HI> it's high time to Bleed'em;</L>
<L>The Second <HI>CHARLES</HI> does neither Fear nor Need'em.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I'le have the World know that I can Di&s;&s;ipate</L>
<L>Tho&s;e <HI>Impolitick Mu&s;hrooms of our STATE;</HI></L>
<L>'Tis ea&s;ier to <HI>Di&s;&s;olve</HI> than to <HI>Create.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>They &s;han't <HI>Cramp Ju&s;tice</HI> with their Feigned Flaws;</L>
<L>For &s;ince I Govern only by the LAWS;</L>
<L>Why <HI>They</HI> &s;hould be Exempt, I &s;ee no Cau&s;e.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>To the LAWS They mu&s;t Submit; 'tis in vain</L>
<L>E're to Attempt to &s;hake off tho&s;e again;</L>
<L>For where <HI>CHARLES</HI> Commands, There mu&s;t <HI>Ju&s;tice</HI> Reign</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When the <HI>Peoples Father</HI> does E&s;pou&s;e the LAW,</L>
<L>All tho&s;e who <HI>Subjects</HI> from their <HI>Duty</HI> draw,</L>
<L>Do <HI>Viper-like,</HI> through <HI>Parents</HI> Bo&s;om gnaw.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When They Attend Me next, <HI>F.</HI> Bid Them bring</L>
<L>Calmer Thoughts; Bid Them Propo&s;e <HI>Legal Things;</HI></L>
<L>Such as may both become <HI>Them&s;elves,</HI> and <HI>KINGS.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>This will the <HI>Joys</HI> of Our <HI>Little World</HI> Compleat,</L>
<L>And all Attempts of <HI>Foreign Foes</HI> Defeat;</L>
<L>Making the <HI>People</HI> Happy, <HI>MONARCH</HI> Great.</L>
