A welcome to his Royal Highness INTO THE CITY, April the Twentieth, 1682.  Per J. P. Citizen of LONDON. Motto. Invenias paucos hic ut in orb Bonos. 

CLad with the Infant Glories of the Spring,  
hast pious Muse, Great JAMES Divin'ly Sing;  
riding ▪ secure in peaceful Albions Bay,  
Grateful to Her above the New-Born Day.   

Welcome Great Sir, salutes you every where,  
beloved by JOVE, by Birth His chiefest care:  
With busy joy our Seven-fold Lute we String,  
To tell in Notes your safety to the King;  
moved with soft Numbers envy here is shown,  
Each strives to bid you welcome to the Town.  
With melting Harmony our Harps are Strung,  
Soft as the Love with which the Throne is Hung:  
Such Mirth your Presence adds to Monarchy,  
In spite of Rage, and Factious Anarchy  
Those Closet-Products of damned Whiggery:  
Such new raised Plagues of every Corporation,  
We will alloy by Anti-Association;  
Laden with Loyalty our Arms shall be  
That Golden Bracelet of blessed Unity,  
The sole unbias'd Basis of true Property:  
Next after CHARLES a Monarch you may claim,  
At whose Protection all our Fortunes aim.  
ENGLAND Triumphant now may brighter Shine,  
blessed with the rays of thy good Father's Line;  
crowned with Religions peaceful Olive, She  
With Tory Zeal a Monument to Thee  
Shall raise of ever verdant Piety.  
Long did our Royal Monarch in his mind  
hug your Return, and hoped that some kind Wind  
Would lodge you safe within His Sacred Arms,  
Where scarce His sceptre feels more pleasing Charms,  
Oh! could we raise our grovelling Souls to Thee,  
filled with a smooth majestic Harmony!  
For to a Crown, that Monarch of Delight,  
Virtue like Thine Victorious takes her Flight.  
But cease my Muse, in wishes speak the rest,  
Whilst with two Godlike Souls our Albion's blessed.   
Vivat Rex Carolus, & Caroli Frater.  
FINIS.
