A COUNTREY SONG , INTITULED , THE RESTORATION . I. COme , come away , To the Temple and pray , And sing with a pleasant strain : The Schismatick's dead , The Liturgy's read , And the King enjoyes his own again . II. The Vicar is glad , The Clerk is not sad , And the Parish cannot refrain , To leap , and rejoyce , And lift up their voyce , That the King enjoyes his own again . III. The Countrey doth bow , To old Iustices now , That long aside have been lain : The Bishop's restor'd , God is rightly ador'd , And the King enjoyes his own again . IV. Committee-men fall , And Majors Generall , No more doe those Tyrants reign : There 's no Sequestration , Nor new Decimation : For the King enjoyes the Sword again . V. The Scholar doth look , With joy on his Book ; Tom whistles and plows amain : Soldiers plunder no more , As they did heretofore : For the King enjoyes the Sword again . VI. The Citizens Trade . The Merchants do Lade , And send their Ships into Spain : No Pirates at Sea , To make them a prey , For the King enjoyes the Sword again . VII . The old Man and Boy , The Clergy and Lay , Their joyes cannot contain : 'T is better then of late , With the Church and the State , Now the King enjoyes the Sword again . VIII . Let 's render our praise , For these happy dayes , To God and our Soveraign : Your drinking give ore , Swear not as before : For the King bears not the Sword in vain . IX . Fanaticks be quiet , And keep a good Diet , To cure your crazy brain : Throw off your disguise , Go to Church and be wise ; For the King bears not the Sword in vain . X. Let Faction and Pride , Be now laid aside , That Truth and Peace may reign : Let every one mend , And there is an end , For the King bears not the Sword in vain .
