A Worthy Kings Description . Both Country and City give ear to this ditty , Whilst that I the praises sing , And fame his honour out doth Ring , That best deserveth to wear the Crown ; For Worth there 's none can put him down And this is no flattering , to describe a worthy King ; His Subjects here their desires explain , Desiring that he may enjoy his own again .

BRave news there is I understand , Brought by one that late did land , Many that heretofore were sad , Their hearts full merry are , and glad , And rejoice for his sake , That amends will us make , And will please us all as then , for he that we did lack is now returning back For to enjoy his own again . Fair England will be well content With the chief of men in government , When the Churches Champion smiles upon her , Earths Majesty and Natures honour ; His foes unto him he will draw , Hee 's the director of the Law . And the Nations Rights he will maintain : these things will appear before the next new year . When the King enjoys his own again . When the Scepter of mercy he doth hold , And true Iustice doth unfold , And when he doth his own imbrace , There you may see the glass of grace , And the terrour of Treason Which is but Reason . The poor mans Cause he will maintain ; no man can this deny , hée 's the life of ●●yalty , When that he enjoys , &c. His command if Right is without dispute , Then will his power be absolute : In him Wisdome is very rife , And his favour will lengthen life ; His Subjects his charge will be , And his care for their safety . This pleasure will true peace maintain , which we shall prove his joy to be our love , When the King , &c. His wisdome is not to be paralel'd By all that e're the Scepter held , 'cause it is without all equallity , We hope no man can this deny : He is of great renown , And best deserves the Crown ; For why he hat● most right to raign , thus saith the Trump of fame that he deserves the same , For to enjoy , &c. If for the same he be appointed , And he be call'd the Lords anointed ; Like a King he must be served , Add be tenderly preserved : Then he the head must be Of the publick body : If that his right he doth regain , he will tender of us be if that we live to see Him to enjoy , &c.
The Second Part , To the same Tune .

HE●s a blessing over his people by plate , And Gods Vicegerent full of grace : He is no forreign Conqueror , But our Supream Governour , His safety his Councells cares , And his health his Subjects prayers : Whilst that on Earth he doth remain , his pleasure is his Peeres . that great Jehovah fears , And to enjoy his own again . And for to chear his Subjects sadnesse , His content will be their gladnesse , His presence must Reverenced be , According to his high degree ; His person must not be scorned , But his civill Court adorned , When in fair England he doth raign , all men shall be free , and set at liberty , When the King , &c. What righfull thing by him is said , Ought not for to be disobey'd ; One thing cannot be denied . That his wants must be supplyed , Nor his place unregarded , But Royally Rewarded , And richly his state maintain : then let our prayers be these happy days to see . That the King may enjoy , &c. Although a God he cannot be , Hee 's more then an ordinary man we see , Wee do hope hee 's so divine , That from the right hée 'l not decline . Nor yet will he delay Gods laws to obey , And all mens Rights for to maintain , which suddenly will be , when that men do sée That the King , &c. I now crave pardon for this bold thing , For describing of a worthy King , And heartily for him will pray Vnto the Lord both night and day , And under Heaven him commend , That the Lord will him defend , That he in this Land long time may Raign , these blessings then will be who ever lives to see The King &c. Then shall London Conduits run with Wine , With melodious noise of Musick fine ; Then Bells shall Ring , and Bone fires burn , For joy of his gracious return , From sorrow we Hope to be free , From Tyranny and slavish Pain , then let us all rejoyce both with heart and voice , When the King e●joys his own again .
FINIS .
