The Prince that time reserved Thoughts exprest,
Th' old Pastor-Grange most pleas'd his Solemn Brest.
Whereof inform'd, strait gentle Lines did send
That noble King, choice Doctors recommend
Which bare the same; to try their useful Art
Importun'd, mov'd, conjoyned cheerful Heart.
Friends joyn'd withall; Four of the Gentry there,
Which Pastors turn'd, withdrawn; bad sharers were,
Time's chang'd rejoyc'd: The Prince did bow, comply'd,
Whose Sorrows ground their Crosses far outvy'd;
To Physick fram'd his Thoughts, Two Years rejected,
Much wrong'd Mind, Body both, that way neglected.
