DƲX REDƲX: OR, Londons Thanksgiving.

Being a Panegyrick on the most Happy Return of His Royal Highness JAMES Duke of York, Lord High Admiral of England, Septemb. 19. 1672.

REturn'd and Safe! Let the glad Realm Rejoyce,

Till Rocks, and Mountains, Eccho all our Joyes.

The purling Streams would else our Mirth forestall,

And make their murmurs much more Musical.

Thrice Welcom (Mighty Prince!) Let the Bells ring,

And all the People Jo-paean Sing.

We owe not here to Faggots, Pitch, or Tarre,

Our Hearts enflam'd with Love, Best Bonfires are;

Since our Great JAMES is to St. Jamesses come;

Wellcome as the blest day, that brought him Home:

A Day than which a Happier ne're was known,

Save that which brought our Soveraign to his Throne.

A Day, to Loyal Hearts of special Note,

Brought the Great JAMES home in a Pleasure-boat.

Well-fare those gentle, those auspicious Gales,

For Albions sake swell'd his Tryumphant Sailes.

Well-fare brisk Tydes, well-fare those active Rowers,

Wing'd with desire, and Joy Feather'd their Oars.

The Tower Salutes him with one Broad-side more,

Re-minding Thousands he Receiv'd before.

Upon his Stern the Crimson Ensigne stood,

A Flag was double-dy'd with Belgick-Blood.

The very Sea Trembled to see him there,

And Neptune hid his wavy Head for fear.

His Presence did the Sea-Gods so Confound,

That not a Tryton durst a Trumpet Sound.

What should He more pursue his prostrate Foes?

He staid till there was nothing to Oppose;

Save Petty Privateers, slinckt out of Size:

Let Idle Emp'rours spend their hours on Flyes.

Some deem'd him Dead, his Conduct being to these

As Dark as Midnight, and as Deep as Seas.

What is't, that Bulk of Baseness Satisfies?

Who, though they See Him, dare not trust their Eyes.

For, dazled with an Object so Supream,

Their Envy would be Blind, that it might Dream.

This Juncto, by a Coffee-House contrive,

Have Thousands Kill'd (thank God) are still Alive:

And they, to Base and Dis-ingenious Ends,

Bewail their Enemies, and Bewitch their Friends.

For since aside Wallingford-House is stept

In Coffee-house, Committee of Safety's kept.

Who by the Turks Black Drink, for ought I see,

Are become no less Infidels than Hee.

A Sect of Schismaticks that wou'd have that,

Ask 'um at present, and they know not what.

Defend us Heaven! the World's a troublous Sea,

Where every Puppy wou'd a Pilot be.

Far, far be't from Inferiours to Enquire:

Suffice it, they Sit Happy, and Admire.

FINIS.

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).
