I. SIng Praise to our Gracous Queen Anne, Who Quietly sits on Her Throne, Having well got rid of a Clan, That too Saucily Wise were grown. 2. For their Councils (as well it is seen) And Schemes were so very Correct, They left no Powr in the Queen, Or Amendments to Make or Reject. 3. Which was a Just Cause to discard m, And lodge the whole Power in One. Heavn, doubtless, will justly Reward him, If he Finishes, as h has begun. 4. His Actions so wise are and just, Without any sinister Ends; Although he should do, what his Trust Will not warrant, we will be his Friends. 5. His Capacitys greater by far, than Any Statesman that eer went before him; Having paid a vast Debt to a Farthing Without Money, for which we Adore him. 6. Hell Silver in Plenty bring home By the Trade fixt in the South Sea; Which, if it to any thing Come, No doubt it will something be. 7. Our Credit was once at a stand, But now tis Restord again; Since Nine or Ten does Command What with Six was endeavourd in vain. 8. And Fifty per Cent. has such Savour Twill always our Navy supply, And who, for trusting his Favour, Can give better Reasons Why? 9. But this is but part of the Sum, That to his great Wisdom we owe, A Peace he has under his Thumb, That does all his great Actons out-go.
10. By which, of the Ballance of Power, We need have no farther Care; Since Philip, of Spain, shall Restore Evry Inch that Old Laws can spare. 11. The Act of Succession shall be Confirmd to the Joy of the Naton; Of which, we all must agree, That Perkin has no Expectaton. 12. Of our Trade too, is taken great Care; Which cannot be reckond in vain: For now we have nothing to fear, If France does her Promise Maintain. 13. For th Allies; the Queston is, Whether (Such Care of our selves being Taken) Tis Materal to keep m together, To save one anothers Bacon. 14. Tis a Work so hard to be done, Each separate State to please; Tis better to let it alone, Than thereby to obstruct such a Peace. 15. While the Church, as Establishd by Law, Is fencd with such Zealous Defenders; As soon we may dread any Clause That may Favour the Pope, as Dissenters. 16. All this being gaind by the Peace, Will sure drive away all our Fears; Especally since a long Lease, Is securd of at least Three Years. 17. Then sing to the Praise and Glory Of Her who sits on the Throne. Let every Whig and Tory Be thankful for this when done. 18. Till when, for Better or Worse, We Impatently wait the Success; Which a Blessing will be or a Curse, Pray God, it may be for the Best.
