SONG XXIV.
An Ode.
I
Under 500 Kings three Kingdoms groan,Go Finch dissolve them Charles is in the Throne,
And by th' Grace of God will Reign alone.
108
II
What will the Commons have? The Royal line,Heaven doth dispose of. 'Tis not theirs or mine,
But his by whom Kings Rule, and are Divine.
III
I represent the King of Kings who gaveThe Crown, the Sword, the Scepter that I have,
I am Gods Servant, not the Peoples slave.
IV
Their Frantick Votes, and mad Resolves I hate,I know a better way to heal the State,
Then to Sin rashly and Repent too late.
