To the Right Honourable THE LORD MAYOR AT THE ANNIVERSARY ENTERTAINMENT IN GUILDHALL . THE wise Appllo Laugheth once a year ; So the resembling mortal Gods do here Deign to be jolly , and Triumph together , Over their Cares , and over Romes soul weather . As you ( much Honoured Sir ) Ascend the Chair , The Heavens so kind and so Propitious are . Redeem'd Religion happily supplies Fresh Comfort to your former solemn Joys . Let Popery dasht it sound sweeter in your ear Than the sweet pleasing melody you hear . And Hearts as with good wine be chear'd and warm'd With the good news His Majesty not harm'd ; But this ought to allay your Joys Excess , His Martyr'd Friend falls by the merciless . Now Exit Babylon's Transubstantiation , Infernal Plots and Hell Assassination ; Those Egypt Frogs no more Infest or Croak Within the shadow of the Royal Oak . ( Avant Prodigious , Protean , Papal-State . ) Avant the curst Raviliack Transmigrate . The noise of Blood , The noise of Bankrupts cease , The Nations Wealth , the Nations Fame increase . This so bright dawning Providential Ray Sweetly Presageth Sun-shine Halcyon day . And you my Lord , within your Lower Sphere Are a good Omen . Happy be your year .
On Sir Edmondbury Godfrey . Such is mans Life and Fickle state , Consum'd with Care , expos'd to Hate , Rent by variety of Fate , ( At most but of a moments Date ) So here in this great Herse we see , The best of Mortals , what they be . The wise and good worst harms molest , The more of worth , the less of rest . As in a storm the Cedars fall , And shrubs survive their Funeral .
