TO THE
LOYAL Company of CITIZENS
MET AT
Merchant-Tailors Hall.

THeyre Met, theyre Sat, and Loyal Cups go round,
And with their Cheers the well-built Walls rebound.
The Trojans thus rejoycd, when they to Groves,
From stormy Billowes had their first removes.
When Seven fat Bucks AEneas did impart
To Ilions Youth, and bid em all take Heart.
Since from black stormy Gusts and a rough Sea
That lately tost, by Skilful Hands set free,
They there enjoyd a sweet Serenity.
Bring out the Bowl, methinks I hear em cry,
Which Belus, and all Belus Progeny
Was wont with Sacred Wine to thbrim to Crown,
And let it to Great CHARLES and his go down.
And in the interim let some lovd Youth tell,
Famd as Iopas, while each string does swell,
In Sacred Lore how His Great Father fell.
Then sigh each Loyal Soul fors Master slain,
Then Cheerly cry, His Heirs we will maintain,
Successively on the same Throne to Reign.
Thus doing, Loyal LONDON ner may want
The Charters had when she was Troynovant.
Thus doing, this August and Solemn Treat,
Will make New LONDON as old Carthage great;
When true AEneas and his Faithful Band,
Queen Didos Royal Table entertaind.


LONDON: Printed for W.B. MDCLXXXII.
