Not illustrated. 1704 Excerpt: ...And where the First expir'd, a New begun: Scvn Days for all Degrees the Feast did hold, The RgyallVme goes round, and /fc/nei in Gold To all a free and Princely PVclcom shown, As yet xh' accurs'd Civility unknown, By pledging others Healths to /o/f their own. The Fm/? and Mirth grew high, the Monarch sends For beauteous Vastoti, who regales her Friends: Deep Good Mardocheus hears, to Heaven he flics, And for himself and his lov'd Nation cries.j They fast, they mourn, with Fray'rs they pierce the Skies: The Queen her r/ci Tiara casts away, In Sackcloth rob'd, in Dh/? and /ib- lay: The circling Sun had thrice both Worlds survey'd, Yet still Vat fasted, still she mourn d and fray'd: Then to the King, with Heav'n to Friend she goes, For her lov'd Peoples Lives she does her own expose.
