The Loyal Subjects hearty Wishes To King CHARLES the Second.  
He that did write these Verses, certainly,  
Did serve his Royal Father faithfully;  
Likewise himself he served at Worcester Fight,  
〈◊〉 for his Loyalty was put to flight:  
But had he a head of hair like Absolom,  
And every hair as strong as was Samson,  
I'd venture all for Charles the second sake,  
And for his Majesty my life forsake.  
To the Tune, When Cannons are roaring.  

 
 

TRue Subjects all rejoice  
after long sadness,  
And ●ow wi●●●eart and voice  
Show forth your gladness,  
That to King Charles were true,  
and Rebels hated,  
This Song only to you  
is Deditated.  
For Charles our Sover●●gn dear  
is safe returned,  
True Subjects as hearts to cheer,  
that long have mourned.  
Then let us give God prai●●,  
that doth defend him,  
And pray with heart and voice,  

Angels attend him.    

The dangers he hath past  
from vild usurpers,  
Now brings him j●y at last,  
although some L●●●kers  
Did seek his blood to spill  
by actions evil;  
But God we see is still  
above the Devil;  
Though many Serpents hiss  
him to devour,  
God his defender is,  
by his strong power:  
Then let us give him praise  
that doth defend him,  
And sing with heart and voice,  

Angels attend him.    

The joy that he doth bring,  
if true confessed,  
The tongues of mortal men  
cannot express it;  
He cures out drooping fears,  
being long tormented,  
And his true Cavaliers  
are well contented:  
For now the Protestant  
again shall flourish,  
The King our nursing Father,  
he will us cherish:  
Then let us give God praise  
that did defend him,  
And sing with heart and voice,  

Angels attend him.    

Like Moses he is méek,  
and tender hearted,  
And by all means doth seek  
to have foes converted,  
But like the Israelites  
there are a number  
That for his love to them  
against him doth murmur:  
Read Exodus, 'tis true  
the Israelites rather  
Yield to the Egyptian crew,  
Than Moses their Father:  
So many fanatics  
●●th hearts disloyal  
Th●●●●●●●ghts an● minds do fix  
ag●●●●●our King Royal.    

The second Part,  
to the same Tune.  
 
 

LIke holy David, he  
passed many Troubles;  
And by his constancy  
his joys redoubles:  
For now he dot●●ear sway,  
by God appointed;  
For holy Writ doth say,  
Touch not mine Anointed.  
He is God's Anointed sure,  
who still doth guide him,  
In all his ways most pure,  
though some deride him.  
Then let us give God praise,  
that doth defend him  
And sing with heart and voice,  

Angels attend him.    

Many there are we know  
within this Nation,  
Lip-love to him do show  
in dissimulation;  
Of such vild heretics  
there are a number,  
whose hearts & tongues we know  
are far asunder:  
Some do pray for the King.  
being constrained  
Who lately against him  
greatly complained;  
They turn both Coat and seam,  
to cheat poor tailors,  
But the 〈◊〉 place for them  
is under strong jailors.   

Let the King's Foes admire,  
who do reject him;  
Seeing God doth him inspire,  
and still direct him,  
To heal those evil Sores,  
and them to cure,  
By his most gracious hand,  
and prayers pure;  
Though simple people say,  
Doctors do as much:  
None but our lawful King  
can cure with a touch,  
As plainly hath been seen  
since he returned;  
Many have cured been,  
which long have mourned.   

The poorest wretch that hath  
this Evil, sure  
May have ease from the King,  
and perfect cure;  
H●● Grace is meek and wise,  
loving and civil,  
And to his enemies  
doth good for evil:  
For some that are his foes  
were by him healed,  
His liberal hand to those  
is not concealed;  
He heals both poor and rich  
by God's great power,  
And his most gracious touch  
doth them all cure.   

Then blush you Infidels,  
that late did scorn him,  
And ●ou that do rebel  
crave pardon of him;  
With speed turn a new leaf  
for your transgresses,  
Hear what the Preacher says  
in Ecclesiastes;  
The Scriptures true, and shall  
for ever be taught,  
Curse not the King at all,  
no not in thy thought:  
And holy Peter  
two Commands doth bring,  
Is first for to fear God,  
and then honour the King.   

When that we had no King  
to guide this Nation,  
Opinions up did spring  
by toleration:  
And many Heresies  
were then advanced,  
And cruel Liberties  
by old Noll granted.  
Some able Ministers  
were not esteeme●,  
Many false Prophets,  
good Preachers were déeme●  
The Church some hated,  
a Barn, House or Stable,  
Would serve the Quakers,  
with their wicked Rabble.   

And now for to conclude,  
the God of power,  
Preserve and guide our King  
both day and hour:  
That he may rule and reign,  
our hearts to cherish:  
And on his Head, good Lord,  
let his Crown flourish.  
Let his true Subjects sing,  
with Hearts most loyal,  
God bless and prosper still▪  
Charles our King Royal.  
So now let's give God praise,  
that doth defend him:  
And sing with heart and voice  

Angels attend him.     
FINIS.
