Though crown'd thou wert not, nor a king by birth, That Piety unmasked shows her face,
Thy worth deserves the richest crown on Earth. That Innocency keeps with Power her place ;
Search this half-sphere, and the antarctic ground, That long-exil'd Astrea leaves the Heaven,
Where are such wit and bounty to be found ? And turneth right her sword, her weights holds even;

That the Saturnian world is come again,
The virgio huntress shines at full most clear, Are wish'd effects of thy most happy reign.
And strives to match her brother's golden light, That daily, Peace, Love, Truth, delighits increase,
The host of stars doth vanish in her sight;

And Discord, Hate, Fraud, with encumbers, çease ;
Arcturus dies; cool'd is the Lion's ire,

That men use strength, not to shed others' blood, Po burns no more with Phaetontal fire;

But use their strength, now to do others good;
Orion faints to see his arms grow black,

That fury is enchain'd, disarmed wrath,
And that his faming sword he now doth lack: That, save by Nature's hand, there is no death;
So Europe's lights, all bright in their degree, That late grim foes, like brothers, other love,
Lase all their lustre, parallel'd with thee.

That vultures prey not on the harmless dove;
By juat descent thou from more kings dost shine, That wolves with lambs do friendship entertain,
Than many can name men in all their l'ne: Are wish'd effects of thy must happy reign.
What most they toil to find, and finding hold, That towns increase, that ruin'd temples rise,
'Thou scornest, orient gems, and flatt'ring gold; That their wind-moving vanes do kiss the skies;
Esteeming treasure surer in men's breasts, That ignorance and slotb hence run away,
Than when immur'd with marble, clos'd in chests: That bury'd arts now rouse them to the day;
No stormy passions do disturb thy mind,

That Hyperion far beyond his bed
No mists of greatness ever could thee blind : Doth see our lions ramp, our roses spread ;
Who yet hath been so meek? Thou life didst give That Iber courts us, Tiber not us charms, [warms;
To them who did repine to see thee live:

That Rhein with hence-brought beams his bosom
What prince bv goodness hath such kingdoms gain'd? That ill doth fear, and good doth us maintain,
Who hath so long his people's peace maintain'd? Are wish'd effects of thy most happy reign.
Theirswords are turnil toscythes, to coulters spears, O Virtue's pattern! glory of our times !
Some giant post their antique armour bears : Sent of past days to expiate the crimes;
Now, where the wounded knight his life did bleed, Great king, but better far than thon art great,
The wanton suain sits piping on a reed;

Whom state not honours, but who honours state;
And where the cannou did Jove's thunder scorn, By wonder born, by wonder first install'd,
The gaudy huntsman winds his shrill-tun'd horn: By wonder after to new kingdoms call’d;
Her green locks Ceres doth to yellow dye;

Young, kept by wonder from home-bred alarms,
The pilgrim safely in the shade doth lie;

Old, sav'd by wonder from pale traitors' harms;
Both Pan and Pales careless keep their flocks ; To be for this thy reign, which wonders brings,
Seas have no dangers, save the winds and rocks: A king of wonder, wonder unto kings.
Thou art this isle's palladium; neither can If Pict, Dane, Norman, thy smooth yoke had seen,
(Whiles thou dost live!) it be o'erthrown by man. Pict, Dane, and Norman, had thy subjects been :

Let others boast of blood and spoils of foes, If Brutus knew the bliss thy rule doth give,
Fierce rapines, murders, iliads of woes ;

Ev'n Brutus joy would under thee to live :
Of hated pomp, and trophies reared fair,

For thou thy people dost so dearly love,
Gore-spangled ensigns streaming in the air; That they a father, more than prince, thee prove.
Count how they make the Scythian them adore, O days to be desir'd! age happy thrice!
The Gaditan, and soldier of Aurore:

If you your heaven-sent good could duly prize;
Vahappy boasting ! to enlarge their bounds, But we, half-palsy-sick, think never right
That charge themselves with cares, their friends Of what we hold, till it be from our sight ;
with wounds;

Prize only summer's sweet and musked breath,
Who have no law to their ambitions will,

When armed winters threaten is with death ;
But, man-plagues ! born are human blood to spill : In pallid sickness do esteem of health,
Thou a true victor art, sent from above

And by sad poverty discern of wealth:
What others strain by force to gain by love; I see an age, when after some few years,
World-wand'ring Fame this praise to thee imparts, And revolutions of the slow-pac'd spheres,
To be the only monarch of all hearts.

These days shall be 'bove other far esteem'd,
They many fear, who are of many fear'd,

And like Augustus' palmy reign be deem'd.
And kingdoms got by wrongs, by wrongs are teard; The names of Arthur, fabulous Paladines,
Such thrones as blood doth raise, blood throweth Grav'ı in Time's surly brow in wrinkled lines;
down;

Of Henries, Edwards, famous for their fights,
No guard so sure as love unto a crown.

Their neighbour conquests, orders new of knights,
Eye of our western world! Mars-daunting king! Shall, lay this prince's name, be past as far
with whose renown the Earth's seven climates ring, As meteors are by the Idalian star.
Thy deeds not only claim these diadems,

If grey-hair’d Proteus' songs the truth not miss,
To which Thame, Litty, Tay, subject their streams: And gray-hair'd Proteus oft a prophet is,
But to thy virtues rare, and gifts, is due

There is a land, hence distant many miles,
All that the planet of the year doth view;

Out-reaching fiction and Atlantic isles;
Sure, if the world above did want a prince, Which (homelings) from this little world we nanie,
The world above to it would take thee hence. That shall emblazon with strange rites his fame;

That Murder, Rapine, Lust, are fled to Hell, Shall, rear him statues all of purest gold,
And in their rooms with us tbe Graces dwell; Such as men gave unto the gods of old;
That honour more than riches men respect, Name by him temples, palaces, and towns,
That worthiness than gold dpth more effect; With some great river, which their fields renowus.

THE SPEECH OF CALEDONIA.,

Vouchsafe, blest people, ravish'd here with me,
To think my thoughts, and see what I do see.
A prince all-gracious, affable, divine,

Meek, wise, just, valiant, whose radiant shine
Tue Heavens have heard our vows, our just desires Of virtues, like the stars about the Pole
Obtained are; no higher now aspires

Gilding the night, enlight'neth every soul,
Our wishing thought, since to his native clime, Your sceptre sways; a prince, born in this age
The flower of princes, honour of his time,

To guard the innocent from tyrants' rage;
Encheering all our dales, hills, forests, streams, To make peace prosper, justice to reflow'r,
(As Phæbus doth the summer with his beams) In desert hamlet, as in lordly bow'r;
Is come, and radiant to us, in his train,

A prince that, though of none he stands in awe,
The golden age and virtues brings again!

Yet first subjects himself to his own law;
Prince so much longed for! how thou becalm'st Who joys in good, and still, as right directs,
Minds easeless anguish, every care einbalın'st His greatness measures by his good effects;
With the sweet odours of thy presence ! Now, His people's pedestal, who rising high,
In swelling tides, joys every where do fow To grace this throne, makes Scotland's uame to fly
By thine approach; and that the world may see On halcyon's wings (her glory which restores)
That unthought wonders do attend on thee, Beyond the ocean to Columbus' shores :
This kingdom's angel I, who since that day God's sacred picture in this man adore,
That ruthless fate thy parent reft away,

Honour his valour, zeal, his piety more;
Aad made a star, appear'd not any where

High value what you hold, him deep engrave
To gratulate thy coming, come am here.

In your heart's heart, from whom all good ye have;
Hail! princes' phenix, monarch of all hearts, For as Moon's splendour from her brother springs,
Sovereign of love and justice, who imparts The people's welfare streameth from their kings.
More than thou canst receive! To thee this crown Since your love's object doth immortal prove,
Is due by birth: but more, it is thine own

0! love this prince with an eternal love.
By just desert; and ere another brow [How Pray that those crowns his ancestors did wear,
Than thine should reach the same, my foods should His teinples long, more orient, may bear ;

That good he reach by sweetness of his sway,
Level the hills with carcases of slain,

That ev’n bis shadow may the bad affray; This isle become a Red Sea. Now how sweet That Heaven on him what he desires bestow, Is it to me, when love and laws thus meet

That still the glory of his greatness grow;
To girt thy temples with this diadem,

That your begun felicities may last,
My nurselings' sacred fear, and dearest gem, That no Orion do with storms them blast;
Nor Roman, Saxon, Pict, by sad alarms

That victory his brave exploits attend,
Could thus acquire and keep; the Heavens in arms East, west, or south, where he his force shall bend,
From us repel all perils ; nor by wars

Till his great deeds all former deeds surmount,
Aught here was won, save gaping wounds and scars: And quell the Nimrod of the Hellespont;
Our lion's climacteric now is past,

That when his well-spent care all care becalms,
And crown'd with bays he rampeth free at last. He may in peace sleep in a shade of palms;
Here are no Serean fleeces, l'eru gold,

And rearing up fair trophies, that Heaven may
Aurora's gems, nor wares by Tyrians sold; Extend his life to world's extremest day.
Towns swell not here with Babylonian walls,
Nor Nero's sky-resembling gold-ceild balls;
Nor Memphis' spires, nor Quinzaye'sarched frames,
Captiving seas, and giving lands their names:
Faith, unilk-white Faith! of old belov'd so well,
Yet in this corner of the world doth dwell

And strong in power and glory, every way, Life's spark you soon would waste ;

As when thy peerless parent did it sway; Grief follows sweet delight,

Ne'er turning wrinkled in time's endless length, As day is shadowed by sable night,

But one in her first beauty, youthful strength, Yet shall remembrance keep you still, when past. Like thy rare mind, which stedfast as the Pole

Still fixed stands, however spheres do roll.
More to enchance with favours this thy reign,
His age of gold he shall restore again;

Beyond the Garamants shall pack them hence, For in fair Virtue's zodiac thou shalt run,

With every monster that thy glory bates : And in the Heaven of worthies be the Sun.
