EPIGRAPH: Now universal England getteth drunk
For joy that Charles her monarch is restored ;
And she, that sometime wore a saintly mask,
The stale-grown vizor from her face doth pluck,
And -weareth now a suit of morrice-bells,
With which she jingling goes through all her towns and villages.

EPIGRAPH: Io! Paean! Io! sing.
To the finny people's king.
Not a mightier whale than this
In the vast Atlantic is;
Not a fatter fish than he,
Flounders round the Polar Sea.
