Upon King CHARLES's meeting with the Dukes of York and Glocester, and the Lady Elizabeth, his three children at Maidenhead, the 15 of July, 1647.
After a drowth, like welcome rain,To Bless the Grass and Flowers again,
Lick up those dusty heats destroy
Their Brisker hude, Virginity:
No less of Comfort and of sweets
Proves it now Charles his Children meets;
When an intestine Warlike force,
Had caus'd so many years divorce.
He prays for them; their tender eyes
Return'd Him duty sacrifice:
Untill each others brest appears
Affection all dissolv'd to Tears,
Which to the High-mark-point flown on,
Stand ready brim'd for passion.
But here all Humors that annoy
Are banish'd, and give place to Joy;
Yet such as doth prevaile oft times,
To make a tear no mark of Crimes.
