James, King of Great Britain, France, & Ireland.
They look for peace, and behold war; But weDid look for war, and have met peace in thee.
The North wind brings no good, it is untrue;
Never brought wind England more good than you
Whose Mothers death may all the world convince,
Revenge could never conquer such a Prince.
What could Great Britain wish but such an heir,
Unites two Realms scarce ever out of war.
Your wisdome, plenty, peace who descants on,
Conclude you even a second Solomon.
Herein (Great Sir) you Solomon surpass'd;
That to your God were constant to the last.
