TO THE KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS, His best Vicegerent CHARLS II. Who shall be greater than CHARLS the GREAT;
Rex si me Argligenis vatibus inseres,
Sublimi feriam sidera vertice.

Me in your heart with a near place
The world to come shall see
My head shall reach Heav'ns lofty Sphere,
And as the stars I will shine there,
Such shall my Glory be.

THE AUTHORS OPINION.
Beholding now the Triumphs of our King.
And he who grieves this blessed sight to see,
Must either Devil or grand Rebel be;
Ah! curst's that soul can be an Heraclite,
At the rejoycing of the Sons of Light.
THE Author TO THE READER.
A heav'nly Image in Triumphant wise,
The sacred Off-spring of thy Lord and King:
Let now thy heart a peal to heaven ring
At this so glorious a sight: for why?
In viewing him thou view'st a Deity.

THE AVTHORS HYMN.
Praises unto our Lord,
Because he hath restor'd our King
Even of his own accord.
How great his Kingdome to us is
In doing of the same!
O let us evermore for this
Extoll his Holy Name.
And let us thanks unto him give
For all his Mercies try'd,
And pray that long our CHARLES may live
Who us indemnifi'd.
And in the fire did cast the rod,
His mercies bearing sway,
For this praise we the Lord our God,
