HEre are two Figures of great Griefe and Ioy : Each striuing one the other to destroy : And as the one possesseth vs with Griefe , The other giues vs Comfort and Reliefe . This vnexpected and vnwelcome Blow Caus'd brinish Teares our mourning Eyes oreflow ; Yet wee haue the Almighties fauour found , Who gaue the Cure before hee gaue the Wound . This Good deceast example of Good Kings , Whose faire Renowne throughout the whole world rings , The Iemme and Iewel of Great Britaines Throne , Our Wise , Beloued , Prudent Salomon , The Scourge of Antichrist , whose Tongue and Penne Hath beene inspir'd by God , admir'd by Men : When Blessed Peace was banisht euery where , Hee gaue her Royall entertainment here : Full two and twenty yeares ( that Heauenly Doue ) He did imbrace her in the Armes of Loue . Peace ( all his life ) with Plenty staid with him Whilst neighbour-Realms in bloody wars did swim . His Learning and his Charitie was rare , Vnmatched , as his Works doe well declare . For Royall Maiestie and Courtesie , For pious Zeale , and Liberalitie , He was the Paragon , and Patterne too , To guide all Princes how to speake and doe . And hauing lost him , which way can we see How this great Domage may repaired be : O God , with thankfulnesse we make confession , Thou hast restor'd our Ioyes , in his Succession ; Rest gracious Iames , in Euerlasting Rest , Whilst in thy blessed Off-spring we are blest . Great Charles , our hope in thee , expels our feares , Reuiues our Ioy , our drooping spirits cheares : Thy Fathers Sunset almost strucke vs dead , And by thy Rising we are comforted . O what a war of Griefe and Ioy , within Each Subiects brest the conquest sought to winne : At last our Ioy the victory did gaine , For ioy of Thee , Great Britaines Charlemagne . When as the Peeres of this lamenting Land Proclaim'd thy Reigne , thy Title , and Command , Then did the Ayre with Acclamations ring , God saue Charles , Britaines , France , and Irelands King . This was the sound of comfort , and the voice That made each sad and fearfull heart reioyce . In Thee , we are made happy we confesse , If we haue grace to see our happinesse . As thou art Heyre vnto Great Iames his Crowne , So art thou to his vertues and Renowne , In thee his goodnesse really is borne , His Crowne and Qualities doe thee adorne , So that this change is nothing but in Name , Th' Estate and the Perfection is the same . Long maist thou imitate his actions still , T' aduance the Good , and to suppresse the Ill , That tracing in the footsteps of thy Sire , Thy name and fame all Nations may admire , Whilst Thou , the Glory of thy Diadem , Maist be thy peoples Ioy , and ioy in Them . May no Conspira●ies thy peace molest , May Antichristian Plots be all supprest : May God and good men euer more befriend thee , And dayes of old Methashelah attend thee . Amen .
