When The King Enjoys His Own Again - 1660

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 14 Sept 2001

Let moonstruck cheats prognosticate
concerning Kings or Kingdom's fate,
I hold myself to be more wise
than he that gazeth on the skies;
My sight travels far beyond any star,
thus mighty secrets I explain;
for this I can tell
that nought will go well
till the King enjoys his own again.

No mad astrologer by trade
can higher soar or deeper wade,
or find by gaping at the stars,
the cause of peace and civil wars:
the best horoscope is not worth a rope,
the planets shan't distract my brain;
for this I can tell,
that nought will go well
till the King enjoys his own again.

'Tis sad to look upon Whitehall,
while cobwebs hang upon the wall,
instead of silk and hangings brave,
which formerly it used to have:
yet out upon care, we'll never despair,
not utter lamentations vain;
for this we can tell
that all will go well
when the King enjoys his own again.

When royal Charles regains his Throne,
and gives to ev'ry man his own,
then all who tread on English earth,
shall live in freedom joy and mirth:
so let us all pray
too see the great day
when our own King shall o'er us reign.
We surely can tell,
that all will go well
when Charles comes home in peace again.
