TO THE HIGH HOPEFVLL Happy Prince, Charles Prince of Wales, Dvke of Cornewall, and Earle of Chester.
Among the Preace that to Your Presence flowes,With Ioy-full Honours, as this time requires;
In stead of costly Suites, of curious showes,
Of precious Gifts, of solemne Panegyres:
Accept a Heart which to Your Highnesse owes
Whole Hecatombes of Happy-most Desires;
Praying, All prosperous to your blowing Rose,
In All, to equall or excell Your Sire's:
That in All Vertues of a Prince complete,
All Princely Glories may attend you still:
All that may make a King as Good as Great:
All Iosephs Blessings (from th'Eternall Hill)
Whose Happy Legend comes to gratulate
Your High Creation, and Your Birth-dayes Date.
