HIS SACRED MAJESTY CHARLES the II.  
His Royal TITLE anagramatized.  

CHarls the Second, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King; Defender of the truly, anciently Catholic and Apostolic Faith, and in all Causes, and over all persons, as well Ec'lesiastical as temporal, within these His majesty's Realms and Dominions, by and under God, supreme governor.  

The ANAGRAM.  
ACcept the valiant and loyal Georg Monck, Captain General of the Armi's, and the chief Restorer of our dus, Laws, Religion and Liberti's, his Prince's friend at need.  
And recc'n Thomas Allen that is a loyal Subject, Lord Mayer of London City, and a like blessed means for us; sing praise and thanks as ever du' to the Wise God.    

In honour of the Lord General Monck, and Thomas Allen Lord Major of London, for their great Valour, Loyalty, and Prudence.  
EPINICIA.  

THus mounts the Rising Sun that guilds the day,  
The Morning Star his Harbinger, appears,  
Dispelling Mists, chasing all Fogs away,  
Cheering men's hearts, dispelling nightly fears:  
The lesser Stars all vanish out of sight,  
That made such twin●kling in the dark of Night.  
What Histories relate, if that be true,  
Saint George for England, as men used to sing,  
Was but a Type; that George one Dragon slew,  
This killed a HYDRA, and brings in the KING,  
Raiseth the Church and State that quite were sunk,  
Then say, God save the King, and God bless Monck.  
Heralds at Arms are posed in Heraldry,  
Searching for Titles best become him might,  
George Duke of Somerset, Earl of Dundee,  
Marquess of Dublin, and Sir George his Knight:  
All these and more they needs must yield they find,  
Short of his worth, and of his Prince's mind.  
So Walworth that one Rebel killed, was not  
More honoured than Lord Allen hath his Seat,  
Whose Loyalty shall never be forgot,  
And Prudence when the Danger was so great;  
For he by wisely managing his Place,  
Preserves the city's Charter, Sword, and Mace.  
When that so many traitors here did swarm  
Within this Land, that put most men in doubt,  
Such Vipers which no Art of man could charm,  
Lord Monck and Allen nobly cast them out.  
Let them recorded be to endless Date,  
Preservers of our King, the Church and State.  
Let them be like Parheliums' to the Sun,  
When other stars will be combust too nigh,  
These by reflection, as they have begun,  
Shall shine like Suns with beams of Majesty:  
Let both live Nestor's years, and when they die,  
In Heaven live with God eternally.  
The King and people's favourites, that's strange!  
And seems for to import the Golden Age,  
For hardly have we heard of such a Change,  
That any man could both at once engage;  
For whom the King delights in, commonly  
The People hate, and know no reason why.  
But these are Stars of the first Magnitude,  
And under these are comprehended all  
The smaller lights; which here I must include,  
That being fixed, did not like Comets fall;  
Since we have had so many Blazing stars.  
Cause of our Woe, and our late bloody Wars.  
These are two Worthies which this Land upheld,  
To be compared with any went before:  
Two precedents that are unparalleled,  
No Subjects e'er deserved honour more.  
All Glory, honour, Praise, and Thanks we can,  
We give to God, and Jesus Christ God-Man.   
Jo: Rowland, M. A. C C C Oxon. God save King Charles the Second, and God bless the Parliament, the Lord General Monck, and Alderman Allen Lord Mayor of London, and all their Cordial Adherents.
