TO THE QUEENS MAJESTY ON HER Happy Arrival . NOw that the Winds and Seas so kind are grown For our Advantage to resign their own ; Now you have quitted the Triumphant Fleet , And suffered English ground to kiss your feet ; Whil'st your glad Subjects with impatience Throng To see a blessing they have begg'd so long ; Whilst Nature ( who in Complement to you Kept back till now her warmth and beauty too ) Hath , to attend the lustre your eyes bring , Sent out her lov'd Embassadour the Spring ; Whil'st in your praise Fames Eccho does conspire With the soft touches of the Sacred Lyre : Let an obscurer Muse upon her Knees Present you with such Offerings as These , And you as a Divinity Adore , That so your mercy may appear the more . Who though of those you should the best receive Can such imperfect ones as These forgive . Hayl Royal beauty ! Virgin bright and Great , Who doe our hopes secure , and joyes compleat . We cannot reckon what to you we ow , Who make Him happy , who makes us be so . VVe did enjoy but half our King before , You as our Prince , and Him His Peace restore . But heaven for us this desperate debt hath paid , VVho such a Monarch hath your Trophy made . A Prince whose Vertue did alone subdue Armies of men , and of Offences too . So good , that from him all our blessings flow , Yet is a greater than he can bestow ; So great , that he dispenses Life and Death , And Europestate depends upon His Breath . ( For Fortune would her wrongs to him repair By Courtships greater than her mischeifs were ; As Lovers that of Jelousy repent , Grow troublesome in fond acknowledgement . ) VVho greater courage shew'd in wooing you , Than other Princes in their Battells doe . Never was Spain so generously defy'd , VVhere they design'd a Prey , He courts Bride . Hence they may guess what will His anger prove , VVhen He appear'd so brave in making Love ; And be more wise than to provoke His Arms , VVho can submit to nothing but your Charmes , And till they give Him Leasure to subdue His Enemies , must owe their Peace to you . VVhilst He and you mixing illustrio●s Rayes , As much above our wishes as our praise , Such Heroes shall produce , as even they VVithout Regret or Blushes shall Obey .
