Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

To the KING . Great Soveraigne , TO be present at the celebration of your most glorious Nuptials and then be silent , were to be a Marigold in your Sun's presence ( without life & natural sense ) closed up . No wonder then if from the dull plant You shine on , You have these blossomes here . I must either pay such grateful tribute to your beames or wither . I am ( though so unworthy ) a living part of Nature and your Vassal , and therefore can and must do no lesse . I submissively tender them the person of your sacred Majesty , from whence ( filled with the glory of your Marriage Triumph and the contemplation of the blisse you diffuse from it through all your Kingdomes ) with a transported sense of joy I receive them . Your powerful aspect vouchsafes to call them forth . Though the weakness , defect and poverty of my own nature denying them both lustre & fragrancy , will let them be no better , I who am so great a sinner against heaven and live , having seen such matchlesse and divine effects of your Royal goodnesse , despair not of your Majesty's favour after this act of so high presumption I cannot remedy ( Qui apud te dicere audent , ô Caesar , magnitudinem tuam ignorant ; Qui non audent , humanitatem & clementiam . ) with all humility and loyal devotion praying alwaies for your present and future happinesse , as Your Majesty's most dutiful and most loyal subject though unworthy Servant , VVILLIAM AUSTIN .

May it please your Majestie , WHere your Majesties gracious influence united with our great Soveraignes , becomes generally beneficial to the whole Country we live in ( where Honour ; if it hath not the self-same worship now it had of old , we do as highly adore at this very day as ever did heretofore the Holy City , of which your Sacred Person , though Supream here , are pleased to hold your Religion ) we presume to have the liberty according to our ancient customes ( that your Majestie , we hope with the permission of our Religion , will let us enjoy likewise ) to make addresses even to the very Throne of your Sacred Person , to homage you with adoration . VVhat can be objected here ? It is your bright Sunny Majesty we adore , and we can do no otherwise . If that glorious Planet bestows day-light upon us as animating and amazing with its splendour the very Atomes ( the smallest and most inconsiderate part of Nature ) attracts them up to its sublime Orb , there as so many eyes to gaze on , and admire the power they move by ; no wonder if such worthlesse earth and so meere a dust as my self , be found now at your feet . VVhere you so infinitely oblige all your Subjects , no particular Person among them , will certainly be condemned by any for acknowledging your worth . Since we are all bound to augure you the greatest happinesse to be had in this life and that hereafter , and give testimony of our transcendent joy for the long wanted blessings you bring with you to us , I humbly beg your Majesty's pardon , for this presumption to present you the devotion of my poor fancy in these few lines . I am chiefly sorry I cannot make them worthy your Royal hands . But since a free-will offering to the Temple was accepted , though in wood , when gold could not be had , to despair of favour from your superlative goodnesse , were to commit a sin far greater than this can be , I do here as Your Majesty 's in all humility , and loyal obedience , most devoted , WILLIAM AUSTIN . A PANEGYRICK to both their Sacred MAJESTIES , Upon their ever to be remembred most glorious passing upon the River of Thames , coming from Hampton-Court to White-Hall . August the 23. 1662. NOw for some Jacobs scale , to help us tower The altitude of our Charles's power . Some Heavens per spective-glasse to make us see The sublime culme of our felicitie . VVhat feet of Fancy can we find , but thus , Like Fortunes Wheele , must all run under us ? VVho drinks th' 1 Acheron of the past Age , he Drinks from that fatal lake Mortality . VVho 's in our present joyes floud , surely is Tided on to his ravish't heart's chief Blisse . View here true Paradise , where while you see The hight and worth of ev'ry golden tree , VVonder and joy will make you lose your way , As in the Forrest of 2 Hercynia . You 'l there contemplate , till ye unawarrs , Like 3 Hesperus on Atlas , turn to starrs . VVhile the Muses in 4 Citheron convene , And contest who shall best attire our Queen ; 5 Musaeus , give , while you there umpire sit , Colchis's spoil to her best merits it . No hand move now but serve her Royal Spouse , T' erect a Temple t' him of Lawrel boughs , Fetch 't from the Tempe-fields , such , as 't is said The learned God in 2 Delphi's City had . Make such a sacred work and store the same , With th' Aphetorian wealth of glorious Fame . Apollo's 3 train , flowre th' earth they tread upon ; And , as just after 4 Englands conversion To the Christian faith , gifts of land ( that time Might wast their mem'ry least ) were writ in rhime ; Pen ye th' offer and render of this land From Rebels , to the Royal Owners hand ; And , as Heavens gift all Ages may rehearse , Chronicle this fam'd Nuptials in a verse . VVhile ye invoke our 5 Jove to propagate , And make eternal our auspicious state ; This Feast requires that for your prayers close , Ye Amen oft with loud 6 Talassio's . Both their fames Trumpets sound , till th' earths dull ear , As by 7 Herodotus , with b trembling hear . Great King , who after our floud , where you take Your birth , the 8 Delos of your rise here make , Our long night past and your Sun up , the Queen Appears as your fair c splendour to be seen . Not like 9 Aurore , who as she moves along , Steals from her Sol our first devotion : But coming with you t' us , gives this to you , As your right from your Subjects and Spouse too . Our City none , askt to tell what it is , Dares to call now but 10 d Heliopolis . Now Portugal with your Queen tributes t'you , We 'll mend our Times-register . For e you be Our first as well as last to wear the Crown , And rase the greatnesse of 1 Canutus down , Be his or others Fame what ere 't can be , a You 're Supream to his and their Soveraigntie . VV ' expect an Herc'les from your Nuptial bed , To wound and sear Rebellions 2 Hydra's b head . One whom all the pois'nous brains among us , May court as Vipers did 3 Exagonus . One George and then an other , that may chase Europes 4 Dragons , till they expunge the race . One by whose hand they who ' de renew 5 Heavens wars , May c tumble down , though fixt among the 6 stars . In this fair Camp rendesvouze all your powers . " d Jove hath his 7 joy in Heav'n . In e Her you 've yours . VVho'll joyn with us in f wonder of your g worth , Great Queen , that Charles's Oracles speak forth , For 8 Diana stampt in a wooden book , See you move in the living Royal Oake . From your blest arrival here we can boast , VVe are inspir'd as at the 9 Pentecost ; And look that h London for your sake , surpasse The languages fam'd 10 Dioscurias . VVho'll now from the 11 Teutonicks say we 're bred , VVhom their 12 Tuesco down from Babell led ? No after age will , sure , but reddilie From Portugal derive our pedigree , That after our last Babels fall , which had Our land all under its vast cursed shade , Devided first our tongue and laid alone , Our destroy'd Kingdomes new foundation . If we from that great ruin'd Tower will say , Our linage first came out of 1 Asia : After our ruines now , you prove it true , We had in Europe our first life from you . In our dependance upon Portugal , We judge our selves more stably fixed all , And deem our 2 Albion has more extent , Than when 't was joyn'd to the main contenent . This our head-City does you humbly greet , As your 3 Anthybla , and salutes your feet . Let that 4 hard substance , which Deucalion And Pyrrha after th' inundation , Took to people Parnassus with , presage The a stony fruits of a rebellious age : VV ' expect that Heaven your Paradice advance , VVith such blest peaceable inhabitance , It s own kind hands did to the world dispense , i th' harmlesse age of happy innocence . Passe where ye please in triumph to and fro , You 'll find no 5 barren fig-trees as you goe . Your praises pretious Amber among us , Perfumes our Isle all o're like 6 Abalus . Our Floud being past , 7 Flaunders or Brabant show , A fairer Plain than now we 've made by you . This , if they lie secure , your peace does fence , Above crosse Fates raging Seas insolence . For those great artificial hills , 't is said , Were by the 8 Danes and Goths in Zealand made To scape the waters , God and Nature too Have made You our most safe b protection now . Our courteous Starrs o're 1 Heraclitus , cou'd Turn all his heavie humours into bloud . Crush and destroy each 2 a Python , that may breed Out of our late deludg'd Earths poisnous seed . And those deny you your joynt Powers and rights , Metamorphize them to hermaphrodites . Joy would , with 3 Chilo , all our souls dismisse On your worths Embassie , t' eternal blisse , If our allegiance did not keep them now , United to our bodies , as you two , And make the value of our present breath , Ballance all can be lookt for after death . All such whom , with 4 Protagoras we see Muze on the Gods , as doubting them to be , VV ' invite t' observe what our 5 Pharsalia yields , Now chang'd by you into th' 6 b Elysian-fields . Our 7 Lethe's made 8 Euphrates this bright c day , And our 9 Lycopolis 10 Macarea . VVho to view our great Pallas , do appear VVith high esteem of their own beauties here ; Like 11 Dirce , be for their pride and your glory , Condemned to your waters purgatorie . who 'd drive our 12 Sols swift glorious steeds , that none Know how to govern but himself alone , Those steeds of Sol , whose bright cheer , courteously Smiles to us that illustrious day we see : Whose power 's 13 Natures triple aspect , whose praise Attires glory all o're with golden rayes : VVhose merits , as benigne 14 winds , from hence Usher our prayers to heavens audience : VVhose worth and virtues put in 1 Blisse's hand , Her horn of plenty and her winged wand : Who with his waxt wings thus high does aspire , Or brings his painted flame to this true fire , Perish by th' hand of raging Destinie , And with his fall new name th' 2 Icarian Sea. Hurry , with tumbling 3 Phaëton , to hide His burnt head i th' Eridanus you ride . Extinguish there his wild-fires ; there alone For penance draw your gliding Charriot on . As 4 Marsyas to expiate his sin , 5 Atlas up there the Moving Isle you 're in . VVhile we to meet you hurrie through the Thames , Mantled all o're with frothy sweat , he seems To figure to us 6 Achelous , when he And Hercules strove for the masterie . Each a milky drop , while this and that way thrown , Looks as if forc't from the Galactis stone . Three English Kingdomes with one heart and voice , Unite together to applaud your choice . Th' appear like the bodies of 7 Geryon , Made all by the same single soul but one , As th' 8 Argonauts to Colchis bound : so now We 7 banner our gay fleet to wait on you . Your stately 9 Buccentore your Royal Dame Rides , seated with you on the golden Ram , Your fair 10 Helen sits safe and firmly on 't , Being with him commands the Helespont . 11 Daedalus with his wings flyes to rehearse Our solemn pomp , o're all the Universe . Tells it round th' 1 Libyan coasts ev'ry where , And hollowing through all the deserts there , Like Nature at the worlds creation , cites Their Savage host to come t' attend our rites , VVith such subjection , as when they came To their first Soveraigne to receive a name . The Leopards , Lions , Dragons , a Tigres , they That know no creature living but their prey ; Powerfully manag'd with a loyal fear , Become domestick and do b homage here . In stead of such an ugly hairy skin , They 're wont to terrifie our senses in , Th' appear in c gold and colours , as if sent For starry blessings from the firmament . The while , for clouds , the waters move along To make them their celestial Region . The 2 Wildernesse is fixt no longer now , But as a moving pageant serves our show . There see the order , grace and piety , Cloyster'd up in a virtuous Nunnery , And retir'd Holinesse , cloath'd all in grey , Come as a Pilgrim to keep Holy-day . The d wood and water ▪ Nymphs offer their votes , VVarbling their most divine and sweetest notes . You 've here 3 Dodonas grove , where if you please , Hear masts and banners speak , in stead of trees . You 've here a labyrinth , where Daedalus Is lost himself in e ravishments with us . If by 4 Cynthia's motion , 5 Amphitrite Boyles up with heat to that flouds height we see : At your approach Thames swelling , surely wou'd , Deluge all with an universal Floud , Had not its fires free vent , that round about VVe hear and see thunder and lighten out . As you passe , troups of Merman - 1 a Tritons here , Fixt in the b water all in armes appear : VVho , to show how ardently 2 they rejoice , Bid you thrice welcome with one fiery voice . The sons of Thames , as well as th' 3 Oceans , be VVorthy th' esteem of divine race we see . Heaven opens wide its vast eares , to receive The sacred breath of those loud c shouts they give , And d answers them without demurre or pause , e Above a thousand 4 Meropi's applause . Numberlesse female heads along the f shore , Seem afarre off 5 Nereides , vail'd o're VVith Neptunes spumey puffework : or , we 'll say , They 're like the year call'd back to blossome May. 6 They g flock to you , as when the floud was dried , They did to th' highest mountains they espied . Your floating Throne they ' steem Noahs Ark , & wish Your progeny as numerous as 7 his . Did any such Barks or Men hither bring , As 8 Menelaus had from the Cyprus-King : Such senselesse earth as Mortals were , when they VVere hid in their first principles of clay ; Those needs must swim being here , where none can think How any vessel should find room to sink . These well might live & move , to serve you thus , By the sp'rits you transport in joyes from us . The stateliest buildings by the way you view , Asham'd as naked to appear to you , Cloath themselves bravely , and present your eyes VVith rich 1 Milesian a Embroyderies . Thus covet they no dresse but what may show , Lustre stolne from your presence as you goe . The 2 b Graces who for mens mad insolence , Were c fled away for many years from hence , And with the blest inhabitants above , Join'd i th' embraces of each others love : Attendants on our Venus now , dispense The d return'd Lustre of their influence : This on the 3 trees , e fields and beasts they display , To f rid the curses of our g Mars away . The 4 softly moving 5 fruitful 6 Howers , that be With the Graces all but one 7 company , With pleasing smiles join their consents & powers , To ratifie their Sisters blessings ours . These , that the 8 sereene christal Heaven may now , Become the mirrour of this beautious show , Furbish the Firmament , that it may n't shrowd One obscure , dull or melancholy h cloud . Till each admiring eye most i clearly sees , Sols k brightest beams vie with your l Majesties . To fix our eyes to those objects alone , That they and all our hearts too hang upon , To keep us with them lingring on that sight , Which charmes them too with ravishing delight ; Hang 9 Remoras on each bark , that it seem m Fixt fast in ground when in the deepest stream . At last to period your Royal rites , VVith change of novelties of all delights , They bring you safe on shore , and there in state 1 Heaven a you in your Triumphal-palace b gate . c Thames here with submisse murmurs , humbly falls To beg to serve you at your Pallace-walls , As th' Oracle of Themis was , they say , Serv'd by 2 Cephissus in Baeotia . VVhile , like Deucalion and Pyrrha , ye Consult to new-create our Monarchie . And now , methinks , our City does appear Planted with d Peaces Olives ev'ry where , And palmes to Pallao temple carried , say VVe would renew the 3 Oscophoria . Our devout joyes no prophane flames allow . None fetch fires from their neighbours dwelling now , But such as from 4 flamen Dialis , be For service of this great e solemnitie . Your welcomes trump sounds loud in all our Courts , And prologues to rich pomp and publick f sports . Thus in Rome , for Cibele's coming , they Did celebrate the 5 Megalesia . The whole Realm summon'd to this feast imploy , Their best g wits , to be active to their h joy : As when all the Athenians did pay Pallas her rites , with the 6 Quinquatria . Our alters with the royal Oake are drest , VVhich crowns the head of ev'ry Martyr-beast That dies in sacrifice , as if this day Were to return you 7 th' Ambarvalia . If we may bring , in this our present age , Such as out dated be to grace the stage , Now our Babel's demolisht quite , and we , Like 1 Pallene , fam'd for Heavens victorie ; VVe'd to 2 Panchaia send our fleets and thence Be stokt to burn t' ye hills of a Frankincense ; And since your Temple all 3 Pangaeus stores Find gold to scarce , make the 4 Pantheon yours . 5 Rhodes now or 6 Syracusa , boast and say The Sun shines there once in the cloudiest day . VVe glory our Sun shows his constant light Spotlesse from clouds , and frees our day from night . VVhy should not we from this time calculate , From whence our matchless happiness bears date ? Why not make this our new-years day , from whence Both our new age and future hopes commence ? 7 Saturn now renders up what before he , Conceal'd in his vast paunches treasurie . He with his 8 sickle cuts his 9 bonds away , And seeks t' harvest in our 10 Cecilia . 11 Bellona's priests now , if they think it good , Sacrifice to her , as of old , their bloud . Our veines are clos'd now , our blouds current b ceast And return'd c Peace builds her 12 Halcyon-nest In Charles's d Oake ; where ev'ry spreading bough , Curbs Destinies power and worst malice e now . This is our Paradise's middle tree , To give life and fruit to eternitie . Its branches spread o're th' Earth each th' other meet ▪ As th' 13 Angel wings o're all f Heavens mercy seat . Here 's our 1 Dodona's a grove , whence divine loves , Are oracl'd t' us by two royal doves . Two cherubs shining faces look upon , Till ye are sav'd with admiration . who 'll not conclude but Paradise here shall , Be fenc'd by heaven round with a 2 fiery wall ? But kind heaven , that hath matcht our great King here , To rule so beauteous and divine a spheare , VVill him against all 3 Neptunes forces b shield , As armlesse Herc'les in the stony field ? 4 Coblentz extol their Mosel and their Rheen , And tell how sweetly both in one convene . Two christal streams bring here nnited blisse , To ravish all in Heavens 5 Theopolis . Our Jubile would to our souls dispense Joyes from above , to triumph o're our senfe . 'T would bandite labours hence , and force us all T' esteem the whole year made sabbaticall ; That this in a rubrick of gold might make Th' 6 Embolismus in Times great Almanack . Since you refuse 7 Tagus it self , that now Languisheth with your Land for want of you : VVhat 8 Nuptial gifts , great Queen , can you prize , But what from your own 9 genial bed shall rise . May then your powerful numrous progeny , Th' 10 Herculean node fast in your Zona tie . Since we , your worth vanquishing all our powers ; Are bankrupt of our selves , and all is yours : VVhile you take gold tributes from 11 Pactolus , You receive Myrrh and c Frankincense from us . That your great self pleas'd , see , as you require , The candid flames of each hearts loyal fire . That you vouchsafe your grace supply our wants , As Heaven does daily t ▪ humble supplicants .
