The Graces and the Virtue do shine clear:  
The Goddesses, the Muses, all agree  
That in her breast their Residence must be,  
From Juna, her Majestic Mind she gained,  
From Cytherea, Beauty she attained:  
Minerva (Pallas) hath inspired her Heart  
With Courage, in Regarding Arms and Art.  
Apollo, with his radiant Rays Divine  
Incli'nd her favour to the Sisters Nine;  
And for a Blessing to this Happy Land

To be a fruitful Vine, whose Branches may  
Spread Gloriously, as fare as Phoebus Rale.  
In Goodness, Greatness, and in true content  
May She, and They be Supereminent.

FOr outward Beauty, and for Grace within  
This Princess is the Admired Magazine.  
And though her Greatness, is from High borne blood,  
Pure virtue, is her best and greatest good;

Discreet, and Debonair, Attractive, moving  
True Honour, Duty, Service and Respect  
From goodmen, who true goodness do Affect.  
(Above the span of nine year's Pilgrimage)  
She is a pattern for her Sex and Age:  
The Model, Medulla, perfect form and name  
Of Her Grandmother, (that most Princely Dame.)  
And as she grows in years, Her virtue's store  
Like unexhausted Treasure, still grows more.  
And could my Humble Muse speak half her praise,  
My Verse would thousand years out live my days.

Jacobus Dux Eboracensus  

THis Prince (much like another Sun) darts forth  
Most gracious beams to's Dukedom & the North:  
And makes us see with eyes of Expectation  
he'll be a mighty Pillar to this Nation.  
A stay of State, the weak supporting Prop,  
Whose fame will scale the height of Honour's Top.  
He hates dull idleness, and loves to be  
In Action, such as fits his High degree:  
He will be stirring in such Exercise  
As well becomes his years, and qualities.  
Surely, th'eternal Eye of Providence  
Doth watch, direct, and guard this Hopeful Prince  
For some designs as may be for Heaven's Glory,  
And fill the Earth with James his Noble Story.  
This all true Britons, do expect in Love,  
In hope our wishes are confirmed ABOVE.

That presently this sweet young Prince was borne,  
Upon that Fasting day, HE was our Feast

And God was pleased, and this blessed Token sent,  
Long may HE live, (directed by God's grace)  
Joy to HIS Parents and their numerous Race.

Sweet Royal Bud that had no time to bloom,  
Snatched (in one day) from's cradle, to his tomb,  
He (on this mortal Stage) scarce saw the light  
Before Death laid his Corpse in endless night.  
His meanest part of Earth, the earth contains,  
His blessed Spirit in lasting Glory reigns.  
God was most gracious to this hopeful Prince,  
Before he knew this world, to take him hence:  
He, to a transitory Crown was Heir,  
Hath got a Crown immortal for his share.  
For earth's vain hope, He real heaven possessed,  
And freed from worldly Crosses, ever Blest.
