After the Coronation.
The joyful dayes are come, and weObtain our ancient Liberty,
Religion rules, Rebellion rots,
We sleep securely without plots;
Our Lives are safe, our Laws are free,
White-Hall's a Court of Equity.
We are secur'd from Tyrants Swords,
Malignant, and such Canting words
Are out of date, Phanatick broods
That preach't away your Lands and Goods,
Are put to silence, and we fear
No forgeries at Westminster.
Would you know how all this comes round,
Take't in four words, King Charles is Crown'd;
Since it is so, let every thing
Praise God, and say, Long live the King.
