A SPEECH Made to his Excellency THE Lord General MONCK , AND THE COUNCELL of STATE , AT DRAPERS-HALL in LONDON : The 28th of March , 1660. At which time they were entertained by that honourable Company . MOst honoured Sir , if a poore Schollar may ( amongst the rest ) his duteous offering pay , Accept my might unto your Merit , you That have given life to us , and learning to : How had the Churches glory laine in th' dust ? A Sacrifice to the Phanatiques lust , The Virgin had been rifled , and our Lawes Become a Prey unto the Monstrous Jawes Of Wolves , and Vermin , had not you stept in Unto their rescue : nay the Citty bin A Shambles made ; you have redeem'd our States , As though y' ad sat in councell with the Fates , And by your casting voyce diverted our Intended ruine ; thus you shew'd your power , And love unto your Country ; and so mixt , It carryes settlement our hopes are fixt . Ambition that did Gangrinate the State , Like a false Starr's , fall'n from its usurpt height : The spirit of division is now laid , The Genius of three Nations in one made ; You have re-hing'd our happynesse in these Most reverend Patriots , Branches of our peace ; These Luminaries , that through envious Night , In th' absence of our Sun , affourd us Light ; Whose Pious Care and Courage ever wakes , More for our safety , then for their owne sakes ; That prize a publick more then private good , And swam not to a Government through blood ; So cleare in all their wayes , that if they might , They will not take away anothers right ; That if the Proverb hold , ( although but plain ) T is , like , the Man may have his Mare again : To you , and them with reverence I Proclaime A hearty welcome in the Companies name , Th' expression of whose Joyes transported me Into these truths wrapt up in Poetry ; Goe on brave Senators may ynor Union prove A Subject to the World of peace and love . Spoken by Walter Yeokney

The Reader may take notice that the other Speech is a forged cheat , and disowned by Walter Yeokney .
