A POEM ON THE RIGHT HONOURABLE Sir James SMITH , The Present Lord MAYOR Of the CITY of LONDON . NOw may the Loyal once more hope to see The CITY Blest , with civil Majestry ; The People pleas'd with their Monarchs choice , The WHIGS confounded , and the Church rejoyce . Since he is chosen to possess the CHAIRE , Who never knew no other honour here : Then to discharge those duties , which the just Carries untainted with them to the dust , In whose exact , and credible demean , Much Loyalty and Justice may be seen . Justice , that may mistaken Zeal recall , And turn the Sword , which pointed to Whitehall , Against those Rebells , that wou'd destroy us all . Rebells , that wou'd destructively once more , Unthrone their King , and Tap our English gore , Whose tender consciences disgest no Law , But what was made to keep their KING in awe , Who rather than their cause shou'd perish yet Wou'd draw on Heaven , if Heaven wou'd suffer it , Proud and ungrateful Wretches , that must be By Justice lasht into fidelity . Or nothing else their pride can countermand , Not Argos Eyes , not yet Briarus hands ; In these letigious times can scarcely do , Without the helir of Heaven and Ceasar too , Therefore let Justice then their ACTS regard And on this spacious CITY Watch and Ward : But since the Scales will now be ballanc'd true , And held at once by God our King and you , What can we fear when govern'd we shall be , By this thrice great , thrice blest Triumviry .

LONDON , Printed for S. W. 1684.
