First Dry Rattle

Being the first of the Thomas Fletcher papers, entitled
A Reason From The Stars, a first-hand account of the
late civil disturbances endured by our unfortunate country,
undertaken by royal command in 1668.

“The King Enjoys His Own Again.”

“There’s neither Swallow, Dove, nor Dade,
Can soar more high or deeper wade;
Nor show a reason from the Stars,
What causeth peace, or Civil Wars.”

Matthew Parker d.1656
