- A Stuart Era song about the Civil War. No fighting from Cavaliers and Puritans in the comments, please.
"What Booker can Prognosticate?
or speak of our kingdom's present state?
I think myself to be as wise,
as he that most looks in the skies:
My skill goes beyond the depths of the pond,
or river in the greatest rain:
By which I can tell, that all things will be well,
when the king comes home in peace again,
There is no astrologer, says,
can search more deep in this then I,
To give you a reason from the stars,
what causeith peace, or civil wars:
The man in the moon, may wear out his shoone,
in running after Charles' wain ,
But all to no end, for the times they will mend
when the king comes home in peace again.
Though for a time you may see Whitehall,
with cobwebs hanging over all,
Instead of silk, and silver brave,
as formerly it used to have:
In every room, the sweet perfume,
delightful for that princely train,
The which you shall see, when the time it shall be,
that the king comes home in peace again.
Till then upon Ararat's Hill,
my hopes shall cast her anchor still;
Until I see some peaceful dove,
bring home the branch, which I do love;
Still will I wait till the waters abate,
which much disturbs my troubled brain,
For I'll never rejoice, till I hear that voice,
that the king comes home in peace again."

The last paragraph of this is a reference to the bible, Noah's Ark rested on the mountains of Ararat after the waters abated. Also Noah sent a dove to check if the waters were abated
"No fighting from Cavaliers and Puritans in the comments, please." - Damn - That is a real pity, I was looking forward to taking the piss out of Roaundheads!
Yeah man, I was about to tell a royalist some nasty stuff.
Been searching for this for two decades. THANKS. Now I can add the lyrics to what I can remember.. blessed
Been searching for this for four centuries.
Now the uk has a new king Charles III. Let's hope that he doesn't face a civil war with his Parliament like Charles I did. God save the king.

@Royalist Weeb. Thank you my loyal subject. May god bless you and may he keep you safe in these difficult times.
As a bit of an Irish Jacobite, I like the song, the white rose, & the King over the water. And hoorah for theEarl of Lucan, Patrick Sarsfield, that is.
+John McGrane I am sorry my friend, but the Jacobite cause is practicality impossible now.
Prefer James Connolly and Wolfe Tone, myself.
@@earlofwarwick3533 We can accept it without liking it. You know? Also, are you actually the Earl of Warwick? If so, I'm your biggest fan.
Hear hear! James' descendant still lives and stranger things have happened! ⚔️
Me: *Sees 'No fighting from Cavaliers and Puritans in the comments'
Also me: Good luck with that...
Not entirely sure what I would have been if I'm honest - Covenanter, Royalist, Irish rebel, Confederate or English Parliamentarian. Suffice to say that all of them are extremely remote from modern politics. No matter, this is a beautiful song which I greatly enjoyed. Would I be right in assuming that the painting of the king is by Rubens?
Close, it's not Rubens but Van Dyck who was Charles I's favorite painter. He never failed to make Charles I look wise, kind, yet possess authority. Admittedly this was a tricky task considering Charles I wasn't a very tall man so he is often viewed atop horseback or with a skewed viewpoint to make him look taller than he is. I'm a rather large fan of Charles I, so please don't take any of this as a slight.
I'm bloody sure as to what I would have been - a Leveller. Incidentally, a portrait of Charles II would have been better - after all, he was the exiled king that the royalists wanted to bring home - silly sods that they were.
***** The story of the Levellers makes interesting reading certainly.
Not remote at all. Puritanism is resurrected as feminism. Corbyn leads the Levellers. Parliament fat and parasitical-treasonous dealings with the continent. Oh you are very wrong saying it is far away!
So you prefer an England which made it illegal to celebrate Christmas, where everyone would be considered equal regardless of talents and abilities?
Superb 👌 Thank you for posting
Are these the definitive lyrics.
Wonder where can find them
Just google the title; I found the lyrics last night without any trouble, except they use the phrase "!when the King enjoys his own again" which is the original, although I prefer "When the King comes home in peace again"
@@rachelhenderson2688 thank you. Yes i prefer the second variation.
I have chosen that already in my new version
I was raised on different lyrics.
Who sings this version of the song?
The druids
Wonder what happened to Plantagenet. Daresay parliament would rather see neither hide nor hair of the fellow.
A solar eclipse is a hell of an odd time to die but a hell of a good time to skip town.
Wonder what MI6 would do if they found him. Have the most outrageous idea but they'd never do that... never. For one thing the poor Plantagenets had a hereditary tendency to go completely mental bout they time they hid late 30 or so. MI6 would of course know their own history... so they couldn't have... absolutely wouldn't have...nevermind.
The biggest tragedy to me is that Cromwell was a patriot and believed he was doing the right thing. Cromwell didn't even want to overthrow the King at first, instead he appealed to the King in an attempt to gain peaceful reform for the good of the nation, and so he could protect his loyalty to the King, something he greatly sought to maintain, but felt impelled into drastic action.
Even after defeating the King's Men in battle, Cromwell still wanted to keep Charles I on the throne, yet make him agree to reforms, it was Charles' dealings with the Irish Confederates for an Irish invasion of England to regain his powers in exchange for Irish autonomy that pushed Cromwell over the edge into calling Charles a traitor for conspiring to lead a foreign invader into his own realm.
This could be rightfully said of many parliamentarians, but not Cromwell.
Great rendition....but not as good as the Strawhead version...sorry.
Strawhead are too tinny in their sound
King Oliver was the greatest Englishman. God bless him. I wish he was with us now.
No worry, he's well and toasty in hell. And in that pit we tossed his corpse into
@@rustybayonette6641 he’s in heaven, saved Christian who fought the subversive evil of Rome
@@MrImpossibroGaming King Charles was given divine right to rule by God, and he himself was a Protestant. Cromwell killed a man given the divine right by God, thus meaning he thought himself above God. He instituted an oppressive and unpopular regime. Not to mention what he did to the Irish.
@@rustybayonette6641 he 100% wasn’t a Protestant and tried to sell out the nation to rome and paid for it
@@rustybayonette6641 Cromwell didn’t think himself above god lmao he was an extremely devout man and parliament didn’t even want to execute the king anyways, he’s in heaven and you can seethe all about it while propagating the actual evil of Rome
I always picture Stephen fry when I think of Charles
William Garrett for some reason, I can see it..... they look kinda similar
Funnily enough, Stephen Fry actually did play Charles I in a Blackadder Sketch ;)
That's unlucky...
@@rct3terminator1000 Which one?
I'd call myself a Royalist now but back then I would probably have been a parliamentarian. England was a bit of a joke under the early Stuarts.
Jamraptor In what way was it “a joke”?
You're a bit of a joke.
Sounds like material and protestant drivel
Great tune - it's pity Cromwell did not establish a democratic federal republic when he had the opportunity. As an educated man he would have been conversant with the ideals of the Athenian Greeks, as were the founders of the U.S.A.
That wasn't his intent, unfortunately. He wanted power and was zealous in his religious persecutions. He was more of a tyrant than the king ever was.
