On her most Excellent Majestie, Katharine, Queen of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland: Her Highness Cordiall welcome into England.

VVHen that you saw, Brave Englands Royal Fleece
And many Nobles, of the English greet.
Your Royal Brother, did them Entertain:
And there Brave Company, and Princely Train;
Where nothing was wanting, to shew his love:
And enterchange of action; to approve.
After great Feasting: they must then part thence.
Take there great charge, a Royal Recompence.
Much land, and watery Ocean, was between:
I cannot now relate, what was there seen;
In the great Court, of King of Pertugal;
Grand happiness, I wish unto them all.
When you did leave, your Brothers Royal Court:
Many great Persons, did to you resort.
At last into the Ship, you did enter:
Resolving on a Royal adventure.
I wish't that the Seas, might be calm, and fair:
For to Convay, a Spouse, that is so Ra [...]e;
Endu'd with Eminent quallities of mind:
A Jewel so Rich, so Rare is hard to find.
Aeolus breath'd fair, fil'd sailes to convoy:
The choycest Jewel, of my Soveraigns joy.
Neptune stir not up, Thy Tempestious waves:
Where many are buried, in untimely graves.
May's Forehead now be smooth, no wrinkled brow:
But fair, and calm, great Caesar it allow.
May Fishes skip, and in the Ocean play:
England Rejoyce, at this happy day.
God Bless the place, where you did safely land:
And keep your Highness, by the Almighties hand.
Welcome Rare Princess, into great Brittains land:
To gracious King Charls, that doth it command;
And all our noble Nation beside:
To be a Famous Queen, King Charls his Bride.
Now you are past over, the Surging Seas:
Down you may sit, and take your quiet case.
When you shall come, in my dear Soveraigns sight:
Oh how it will his Highness heart delight.
The Birds will chant, and melodious sing:
To welcome in our Queen, to'r Royal King.
All creatures in their kind, may now rejoyce:
So let all English men, with heart, and voice.
So let Scotland, and Ireland then, now accord:
Truly to love, and honour their dear Lord.
Give him all comfor [...]s, of a Nuptial bed:
And all things may delight's heart, hand, and head;
All thi [...]gs that may please, my Sov'raigns sences:
Friends Fa [...]thful, without fained p [...]tences.
Welcome Rare Princess, to Portsmouth's fair Town,
Or every other place, of like Renown.
To Famous Cities, of this our Nation:
In a Brave Order, and stately Fashion.
Let Bonfires blaze, and Bels out loud Ring [...]
To express love, unto our gracious King.
And to the grand Infanta Princess high:
Of hopeful vertues, and bright Majesty.
Who having now put off that youthful Name:
And ta'ne the name of Queen, of Royal fame.
The Name Infanta, you have laid aside:
Taken the Name of Queen: that will abide.
As much Happiness, as a Heart can Deem:
I do wish, and pray, for G [...]and King Charls's Queen.
As much as Tongue can speak, and heart think on:
I'le wish, and pray, for great King Charls's Son.
Lord fill my Sov [...]raigns heart, with choice delight:
May you be dear, and precious in his sight.
Inflame his heart, with a holy fire:
Grant to his confort Lord, a like desire.
When you come, in brave London, to be seen:
They'l Entertain you, as King Charls's Queen.
The manner how, I cannot now Relate:
Sure it will be according to your State.
When that your Grace, shall Arrive at White-Hall:
You'l find it to Exceed Court Portugal.
Now you are landed free, from mortal harms:
My Gracious King, will cla [...]p [...]ou in his arms.
You have made a fair Rich Happy, Exchange:
Out of one Kingdom, into three to Range.
For you, and Royal issue, to Disport:
In Each, where many Nobles, will Resort.
God grant that we, in Gods due Time may see:
A Hopeful, fruitful, Happy Progeny.
As much as Tongue, Hand, and Pen, can Express:
I wish you both, Eternal happiness.
And when your Earthly Crown's, shall pass away:
Give you a Kingdom, that shall ne're decay.
