1. To His Serene Highnesse, Richard, Lord Protector, &c.

Augustus was most lovely in the Eyes,
Of Romes Grave Senate; who did Eternise
His Fame; and without Arguings agree,
To Honour him; with Pater Patriæ.
In a Pacifick, and auspicious Hour,
You made an Ingresse, to the Supream Power.
Your sweet Demeanour gives, publick Content:
Love, Candor, finde but few, Malevolent.
Your Father Julius was; Augustus be:
Your Countreys Father; Mecœna's to Me.
