OURANIA: The High and Mighty Lady the Princess Royal OF AURANGE CONGRATULATED On Her Most Happy ARRIVAL September the 25th. M.DC.LX.

SUre Darling Fortune humour'd thy sweet mind

In thy most safe Recesse, 'twas hugely kind

To take thee from our black tempestuous Times,

And place thee in Serener quiet Climes.

Bright Guardian Angel, since you fled from hence

W' have lost our Vertue and our Innocence;

W'have lost our peace, w'have lost your father too,

And all's imputed to our want of You.

Nay, while You staid to Complement the State

Death rudely parts Your Dear Triumvirate;

And being angry he might snatch no more,

He rav'd and Storm'd to keep you from our Shore,

But Neptune felt our sighs more then the weather

Who'd bear your greatness and our grief together.

Welcome Halcyon Lady as the Dove

That the Old Worlds recovery did prove,

But where's the Branch the Royal Orange Sprig

To give assurance that the Plant doth live;

(Since wars hot beams scorcht not that delug'd

Not a ripe Orange can again be found. (ground,)

Thrice welcome to our tossed shatter'd Ark

Thou Star that lightst thy Brothers in the dark:

Castor and Pollux borrow'd Leda's rayes,

Her lustrous lightning made their night be dayes.

What did they suffer not! what she not doe!

Hard hearted Fate doth love and fain would woe!

Oh such Widdow such a Turtle Mate

Would put robb'd Nature to a new Create;

Set the great pair together, Her and Mother,

No Name or Glory will be left another:

Go seek in vain for such a Loyal Love,

'Tis gone to Heav'n and interchang'd above.

Yet like a kindly vapour drawn from Earth,

That gratefully discends to ripe her Birth,

So her affections Mounted upwards, run

Fruitfully down upon the Prince her Son;

Here Love like Janus has a double Face

One would not serve Great Mary full of Grace.

So many great relations ne're met

Proportion'd wisdome and a minde so fit.

Now th' Happy Constellation appears

The gladdest light e're blest the English Spheres,

We have forgot the miseries are past

Since your sweet Influ'nce overtook the last.

Disquiet dare not stirre nor Rebel hand

Move but a finger, You secure the Land.

'Tis the Kings peace we keep, and to him due,

But our Tranquility we owe to you.

O Land of Wonders, what's yet to be seen!

Your Princely Sister and your Mother Queen.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).
