Antè trisulca meam quàm flamma cremaverat Arcem, Anteferenda Mihi▪ Fabrica nulla fuit.

On St. PAVL's Cathedrall represented by Mr DAN. KING.
Illustrious Pile, ô that my Muse,
Amphion-like, could Life infuse
Into Thy Stones, & make them dance
In Order, till They might advance
Into their ancient Seats, and rise
In Spires to re-salute the Skies.
What though ye Worlds 7 Wonders have
In their own Rubbish found a Grave;
Consuming Time did scarce amiss
So long as He dispens'd with This:
For whil'st He PAUL'S upheld alone,
The S [...]ar'n re-flourisht in This One.
Haile, Sacred Ruines, which remaine,
And still a Majestie retaine
You in your mouldring Relicks show
GOD's speciall Presence once below:
So as blest Angels might admire
The Model of Their Own Great Quire.
Nor were it an Offence to call
Those Angels to Thy hastning Fall,
Who only can fit Poets be
To grace Thee with an Elegie
And to bewaile a Silence there
Where Voices turn'd each Sense to Eare.
Religions Ark, a Trophy rais'd
By Zeale, where GOD was rightly prais'd
Cheer'd by Thy former Splendor must
We now be blinded with Thy Dust?
Ah that Thy Lead should fall to be
A Winding Sheet to Faith, and Thee!
To view Thee once more in Repaire,
O Theater of ROYALL Care!
To re-exalt Thy glorious Name,
And wash out our Augaean Shame,
A Floud should issue from our Eyes
Which might Alpheus equalize.
Time that devours the World, & brings
A Change on all inferiour Things,
May see an Age in greater Hast
Re-build Thee, then this lay'd Thee wast;
And finde a Holy Pleasure in,
Such an Attonement for This Sin.
However, let Us duely mourn
To view Thee wasting to Thy Urn,
And if Time should not Thee restore,
Thou liv'st in Figure, as before,
By ONE, Who joyning Names, wth Things,
Shares in Renown with Other KINGS.

Threnodia Adis PAVLINA De Seípsâ.

ASPICE Qualis eram primo perfecta Decore,
Vertice sublimi visa ferire Polum;
Culinine nec tantùm Coelo, sed proxima Cultu,
Coelicolae nostros dum stupuere Choros:
Dives Opum, sancta Ara Precum, Pietatis Asylum,
Florida Pace, Fide pura, dicata DEO.
Concipe Mente meum Decus esset quale secundum
Contractum Senio cùm positura Situm;
Pyramis à Flammis cùm surgeret icta Trisulcis,
Auxiliatrices REGE ferente Manus;
Propitio Sumptu renovatâ ut Matre, minorum
Natarum Series tota Venusta foret.
Illa Ego Quae quonclain sublimibus alta Columnis,
Arcuum adornatis concamerata Tholis,
In Coelum Spirâ coepi tendisse stupendâ,
At (que) Ministerijs aptior esse sacris;
Indè, Vetustatis devitatura Ruinas,
Cum Mundo poteram continuâsse Dies.
Maxima Christicolae mansissem Gloria Mundi,
Invida & in nostras Roma fuisset Opes;
Ipsa Cathedrali superâssem splendida Formâ,
PETRE, tuám (que) Solo, MARCE, tuám (que) Salo;
Ar (que) Reformatum tunc Relligione Nitorem
Nactâ, Me summus conclecorâsser Honos.
Sed mihi Seditio nocuit, quae Prodroma Lapsûs,
Saevior ac ipso Tempore, Livor atrox:
Cum sint Arma Tibi tantùm Coelestia, PAULE,
Militis Excubijs non eget Ista Domus:
Antè Decora fui, jam Squallida tota recumbo;
Est sacer Hinnitus quô Sacer Hymnus erat!
Si Fluvio Stabulum Iavit Tyrinthius Heros,
Victor Aquis, quandò Dextra negabat Opem;
Excordes Nati, cur nunc in Funere Matris
Conspicitis siccis Rudera nostra Genis?
O, si versa forent in salsum Lumina Rivum,
Elueret Sordes Rivus ut Iste meas!
Involvo Lodice mei Sacra omnia Plumbi!
Urna priús Magnis, jam rudis Urna Mihi!
Laetor at aeratis quod sim victura Figuris,
Ceu Volucris Syrijs quae reparata Rogis,
Illius Auxilio, Qui non REX Nomine tantum,
Sed Qui, par summis REGIBUS, edit Opus.
Quantò Ego Flebilior, tantò Praesentior audi,
Diruit, aedificat nam tua Dextra, DEUS!
TU miserere Mei, mea TU demortua Saxa,
Verus ut Amphion, mox animare potes:
Dicta Dies, Scriptis promissa fidelibus, adsit,
Cùm Favor in charae Saxa SIONIS erit!

‘TEMPLA sunt DEI Pa­latia, Bonita­tis divinae Tribunalia, Misericordiae Aeraria, Miser­orum Asyla; ubi Sacra NVMINIS Celebratio, est Imitatio Angelorum. & Aeternitatis Praeludium, Haec ergò temerare, temerarium,’Mat. 21:13:.

The Citty of London (as some write) had its first Rise from Brute the Grand-child of Aeneas, 70 years after ye Destruction of Troy, whence (say they) it was called Troy nobant, or New-Troy, so called when Caesar entred into Britaine, 54 yeares before ye Birth of Christ. The name London derived (as some say) from Lud a British King, who enlarged it: Others from Lihan-dian, or Dianas Temple▪ because ye chief Temple therein was dedicated to Diana▪ on whose Ruines St. Paules was built by Ethel­bert K. of Kent: It was walled 3 miles in compasse Ao. Chri. 306 by Helen the Mother of Constantine.

In the time of H. 3d. it had six faire Gates.

The Tower builded by W. the Conquerour Ano. 1078

At ye Dissolution of Monasteries it had 17. Religious houses within the Walles, and 12 without.

The number of Churches in ye Citty of London wth. in the Walles 99, in the Suburbs 31. Anno J658.

This Citty hath Longitude 24°. 20′. Lat: 51°. 32′.
