A PANEGYRICK ON HIS EXCELLENCY The Lord General GEORGE MONCK.

IF ENGLAND'S bleeding Story may transmit

One Renown'd Name to Time, Yours must be it:

Who with such Art dost heal, that we resound▪

Next to our Cure, the glory of our Wound.

Thou sav'st three shatter'd KINGDOMS gasping Life,

Yet from our desperate Gangrene keep'st thy Knife▪

[Page]And though each searching Weapon rallied stand,

And all Fates keen Artilery wait at hand:

Thou curb'st those Terrors from inflicting harms;

Swords are Thy Instruments, but not Thy Armes.

Thou with Thy Pause and Treaty rout'st Thy Foes;

And Thy tame Conference a Conquest growes.

With the Great Fabius then advance Thy Bayes,

Who sinking Rome restor'd by wise Delayes.

Let other Victorscount their Dead, and lay

Sad Wreaths of conscious Lawrel, where they slay;

Whilest Thou alone Dry Trophies dost assume;

They know to Kill, but Thou to Overcome.

Hence, though some foming spleens and working hates

Make Thee the Sampson to our Citie Gates;

At length Thou introducest cooler Votes,

To be the temper to impetuous Throats.

[Page]Choosing that safe Sobriety of thy way,

Not to Eject their fury, but Allay.

With like inspired Prudence didst Thou guide

Thy doubtful Answers, when their fears apply'd

Their subt'lest Emissaries to disclose,

Which strugling Cause Thy Courage would oppose.

When though Thy innocent breast resolved stood

The steady Bulwork of the General Good;

Thy then unripe Affairs left them such scope,

That who deserv'd no help, might still have hope.

The Superstitious thus return'd of old

From their consulted Oracles, that unfold

Two-handed Fates, which when they false appear,

Delphos spake true, false the Interpreter.

Apollo's awful Tripos would not lye,

Yet the Receivers sense might mis-apply.

[Page]So Thy Consultors from their proud hopes fell:

They gave Delusion, Thou gav'st Oracle.

Hence secret trains and snares Thy steps pursue▪

So dangerous 'mongst the False 'tis to be True.

Return, Return! and shroud Thy envy'd Name,

In those glad Roofs thy sole Arme skreen'd from flame.

Thus threatned TROY no stronger Fortress seeks▪

Than her Palladium, 'gainst the trecherous Greeks.

And that Palladium ne're was seen no more,

When once by Rapine from the Temple tore.

What she to Troy, Troy did to her become,

And was the Pallas to Palladium.

Thence did their mutual Protections start▪

Together both, neither were safe apart.

So Thou without Us safe canst hardly be,

And we despise all safety without Thee.

[Page]Return, Return! Enshrine Thy Glories here;

Thou, whom both Seas and Shore do love and fear.

'Midst Triumphs great, like those, Thy Valor stood,

Whilst Hollands faithless Gore did stain the Floud:

When Thy bold Shot made their proud Vessels creep▪

And cleanse their guilty Navie in the Deep.

Let Land and Waters yet thy Deeds proclaime,

Till Nature mints more Elements for Thy FAME.

FINIS.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
