By a Young Gentleman .

LONDON , Printed for , and are to be sold by Randal Taylor near Stationers Hall , Anno Domini , 1685

ON THE CORONATION I. NO , 't is in vain . What Limits can controul The Rovings of my active Soul ? That Soul that scorns to be to Place confin'd , But leaves its dull Companion Earth behind ; Whilst Fancy with unbounded flight , Enjoys that Object of Delight , Which envious distance would conceal from Sight : And coth by thought supply The weaker Prospect of the Eye , Giving Poets to partake ( Like those Deities they make ) Of Infinite Ubiquity . II. Thus methinks I see the Barge , Pleas'd with the Sacred weight of its Majestick charge ; Argos a less Glorious Freight , From impov'rish'd Colchos brought The Cretan Sea now vanquish'd , must confess Its Burthen meaner , and its Tryumph less ; Since richer Thames doth James and Mary bear , HE great as Jove , SHE as Europa Fair. They come ! Joy doubles Strength to ev'ry Oar , Ecchoes fill the wondring Shore , The Waves with an unusual Pride , Pay Homage to the Lord Of our asserted Main , And calmly as they Glide , Auspiciously afford An Omen of His Reign . III. See , Glorious as the Eastern Sun , Our Monarch from the Waters rise , Whilst Zealous Crowds , like Persians run To own the Blessing by their Sacrifice . He comes , Religious Shouts proclaim Him near , JAMES and HOSANNA bless the Ear ; Delighted Heav'n confirms the Joys , And in glad sounds reflects the Image of the Voice . IV. Tryumphant CAESAR in less Tryumph rode , Though from a Victor to be made a God , When Captive Monarchs trembled by His side , And by their shame increas'd His Pride ; No private Sorrows here allay The common transports of the day , But in each exalted Breast ( Of Happiness and JAMES possest ) Is Evidently shown , His People's Blessing 's greater than His Own , And he that gives the Tryumph , Tryumphs least . V. With weaker Shouts did Israel Ring , Less esteem'd the Heavenly Choice , Less approv'd the Prophets Voice That Crown'd their wishes in a King . For wandring Asses did bestow On Saul that Title to a Throne , Which Providence to JAMES doth owe For His Fore-fathers Virtues , and His own . VI. Next , Fancy , to the Altar bring , Second to him we there Adore ; the King By the Anointing Prelate met , And Rising , where the mighty Brother Set. But ( Oh , ) forbid the Omen Heav'n , And Guard the Blessing you have giv'n , Late He Possest , long may he fill the Throne , And for the Nations Bliss , defer his own . FINIS .
