ODE Sancti GEORGII  
Die Decantata, Aprilis 23. 1686.  

1.  
VIRI sub utroque Globo,  
Terrae & cujuscunque Gentes  
Concordes elevate mentes,  
Et Gratulemini JACOBO.  

Priorem Quo, non habet Mundus,  
Honorum Primus Hic est fundus,  
JACOBUS Nomine Secundus.    

2.  
Gaudete Reges Foederati!  
Tuba Sonet, ac Tormentum,  
Et omne fiat Argumentum  
In Laudem Regis Coronati.   

3.  
Gallus gaudeat, ac Iberus;  
Danus, & Polona Pubes:  
Tristitiae serenent nubes  
Nobilitas, Anglusque Clerus.   

4.  
Hibernus indies accrescat,  
Et quum Temperabit Lyram  
Scotus Leo leniat Iram,  
Carduusque Rosâ coalescat.   

5.  
Thamesi concurrit Tiber,  
Europae Magnae Mercatorum  
Londinum stat commune Forum,  
Sit homo Verna, sive Liber.   

6.  
Olyssiponae Lusitanus  
Liberè nobiscum misceat  
Cor, ac Merces quales liceat,  
Et Regis Osculetur Manus.   

7.  
Quid ambigitis Batavi?  
Calamitas vos quoties urget,  
Sospitator Is assurget  
Cui Patris Os, & Mens est Avi.   

8.  
Tanti est, noster Imperator;  
Princeps oculatae Mentis,  
Martis Terror, ac Tridentis  
Terrâ, & Mari Triumphator.   

9  
Cives Portas aperite,  
Vestrum & salutate Regem,  
Qui Musas & tuetur Legem,  
Grantae Praes, & Bellositae.   

10.  
Dies Iste Gloriosus;  
Hispania Fontes vina fundant;  
Dum Rubro Latices redundant,  
Sit nemo Moestus, aut Morosus.   

11.  
Angliae sudum rarò certius,  
Aut Serenum sic affulsit,  
Musicâ tàm nos demulsit  
Vicessimus Aprilis Tertius.   

12.  
GEORGIUS heic JACOBO junctus;  
Ambo Genii Tutelares  
Angliae defendunt Lares;  
Georgius olim fato functus,  
Et Praesens DEI Princeps VNCTUS.   

13.  
Unanimes Britanni State,  
Boreae Sidus, & Occiduum,  
State Corpus Individuum,  
Et Laudem DEO Jubilate.  

Hic Hic est cui succumbet Mundus,  
Per Quem JACOBUS Fons, & Fundus  
Honorum, nulli stat Secundus.     

The Song sung on St. George's Day, etc.  

1.  
LET every Kingdom, Camp and Court,  
Whose Natives to this Realm resort,  
Congratulate That Prince, whose Name's  
(As His Blessed Grandsire's was) King JAMES;  

Second by Name, but in the Throne,  
And Orb of Honour, shines Alone,  
And There sits Second unto None.    

2.  
Let all Confederate Kings and Powers,  
Whose Kingdoms are at Peace with Ours,  
Rejoice; Whilst Trumpets and Cannons Ring,  
The Loud Eulogiums of Our KING.   

3.  
Let France and Spain disband all Fears;  
With Denmark's, and great Poland's Peers;  
Whilst Nobles, with the Clergy, clear  
All Clouds arising in Our Sphere.   

4.  
When Ireland Tunes his Charming Lyre,  
Stout Scotland's Lion doth retire,  
And her Pungent Thistles close  
In Union with our English Rose.   

5.  
Thames and Tiber both Combine;  
And London's made the Magazine  
Of Merchandise; in each Degree,  
Where Men do meet, both Bond, and Free.   

6.  
Lisbond's Rich, and Royal Pile,  
Freely Traffics with Our Isle  
In most Commodities of the Land;  
And Joys to Kiss Our Sovereign's Hand.   

7.  
Belgia then no more distrust  
A Prince, whose Prudence can Adjust  
All differences, in whom you'll find  
His Father's Face, and Grandsire's Mind.   

8.  
So Qualified is He to Reign,  
Whose Active Body, and Strong Brain,  
Puts Mars and Neptune to the stand,  
He Riding Lord by Sea and Land.   

9  
Ye Citizens, set wide Your Gates  
To Him who is the THREE ESTATES  
Sole Prop; A Prince of Deep Discerning,  
Pillar both of Law and Learning.   

10.  
This is a Day of Jubilee;  
Let all be Debonair, and free  
To Quaff what London's Conduits carry,  
Bordeaux Wine, or Old Canary.   

11.  
Music ne'er was better heard  
On such an April's Twenty Third,  
Than This, where Air and Earth conspire  
In Consort to make up the Quire.   

12.  
For GEORGE and JAMES Our Tutelary  
Guardians, jointly keep and carry  
A Correspondence, GEORGE Translated  
Long since to Bliss, and there Instated;  
And JAMES by Heaven's Decree appointed  
Britain's Ruler, GOD's ANOINTED.   

13.  
To Him let Britain's North and South,  
Give Praise with Mutual Heart and Mouth,  
And cleave in Love and true Communion  
To Him, who is the GOD of Union.  

'Tis HE, 'Tis HE that can alone  
Guard and support Great JAMES his Throne,  
Who sits here SECOND unto None.      


Cantilenam Concludamus cum Authoris Actione Gratiarum post Prandium.  
GRates DEO Tibi damus  
Pro Donis Vestris; & oramus  
Ut Rex JACOBUS diu vigeat,  
Nec Britannus Orbs indigeat  
Rege Nato de JACOBIS,  
Donec adsit SHILO Nobis. Amen.   

We will conclude this Gratulatory ODE with the Author's Usual Grace after Dinner.  
LORD, Give us humble and right thankful Hearts  
For all the Blessings which thy Love Imparts:  
And-Bless our Sacred Sovereign King JAMES,  
Who of His Royal Line, and Christian Name's  
Fourth Monarch of Great Britain; Scotland's Seventh,  
King of both Realms th' Hundred and Eleventh:  
LORD Grant that from His Seed there ne'er want One  
Till SHILO come, to sit upon the Throne. Amen.   
FINIS.
