THE Parish-Clerk's ADDRESS ON THE Same SUBJECT.
The Parish Clerks of fair London,
(Whose Hall in Wood-street stands)
Liege Subjects all, and every one,
Crave Leave to kiss your Hands.

When that your Father he was dead,
We did lament full sore:
But, since that you are in his Stead,
Right glad we are therefore.

But, since that you are in his Stead,
Right glad we are therefore.
God Bless your noble Majesty,
Your Queen, and Children all!
And send that no Adversity,
May You, or Yours befal.
Your Queen, and Children all!
And send that no Adversity,
May You, or Yours befal.
May You of Church and Realm take Cure;
Of Clergy eke, and Lay:
And may Your Reign, and Fame endure
For ever, and for Ay.
