A Panegyrick upon Col. George Walker.

After the Manner of the Irish.

Our Gracious King gave him five thousand Pound;
And out of the Rebels Lands, when they are found,
He promises him a thousand Pound by th'Year,
Which in a short time will unquestionably appear.
Likewise he promises him the Dean'ry of Londonderry,
When that the Dean of Londonderry will die;
But if the Dean of Londonderry will not die,
He promises him the Bishoprick of Londonderry.
More of his valiant Deeds and Worth, what need we then to cry-ah,
Since Walker George has made amends for Walker Obadiah?
