To the Kings Most Excellent Majestie , The Humble Address of Poor Distressed Prisoners for Debt . MOST Royal Sir , your Glorious Brother , He , Delighted much in Acts of Charity ; His Basest Enemies now say of him , He was a Pious and a Glorious KING : Follow his Steps GREAT SIR , and set us Free : Persume the Noisome-Goals with Purity . Like Larks we 'll soar up to the Heavens High , And with your Glories Penetrate the Skye : Thence with our Acclamations we 'll rebound Thundering the Air ; and make the Earth to sound : There need no Bells , we 'll Ring so loud a Peal , Shall waken all the Drouzy-Factious-Weal . Instead of Faggots we our Coats will Burn , And Me'morize their Ashes in an Urn. That Sacred Day shall ever after be Stamp'd , as a Coin for Future Memory . The World shall Echo , and each Subject say , This shall for ever be Great JAMES's Day . Each dissaffected Pesant when he sees , Such Noble , Charitable , Acts as these : Will Tongue-tyed be , and ever be asham'd . When e're he hears Great JAMES our CAESAR Nam'd SWEET SIR , to our Petition lend an Ear , By Loyalty our Compass we will Steer : Casting our Anchor at your Royal Feet , The only Port such Sailors can , with meet : Pity , Oh Pity Poor Distreffed-Men , And Dying , you will Dye to Live again . May all the Blessings Heaven can pour down , Be Sprinkled on your Sacred Earthly Crown . Futamen Regis Solamen Gregis .
