[I.] HAIL! Mighty MONARCH, Hail! Let Vict'ry's Wreath Be 'Girt upon Thy BROW: Let Angels down Descend with Orbs, t' incircle 'round Thy CROWN, Since Blessed PEACE, Arriv'd in Brittains Isle, Once Banish'd, comes again, with Heav'n's Auspicious Smile: [II.] Let ev'ry LOYAL Heart Insatiate Gaze On THEE with greedy Eyes: --- And let Thy SOUL, By the bright Builder of each Heav'nly Pole, With HALCYON Dayes Be Bless'd. Let each impart, Who once Offensive were, a Humble, Contrite HEART. [III.] Thrice Hail, Heroick PRINCE! Whose Actions Great, Put MARS into a Trembling, Pannick Fear, To see Great Britains KING Reign GOD of WAR: MINERVA Beat, T'espy the CURB of FRANCE, Her Left-hand Gorgon'd Shield, against her Right-hand Lance: [IV.] Dread, Mighty MONARCH, may Y' injoy the THRONE, With Lasting, Plenteous PEACE; whilst Thy dread Fame Scatters Amazement thro this tott'ring Frame: That all may Own, And ev'ry Nation Say; Not Thund'ring Jove, but Mighty NASSAU Rules the Day: [V.] The World hath Felt Thine ARMS! --- Let th' Shannon, Boyne, Athlone, Namure, Landen, and Steenkirk Tell What Numbers by Thy Mighty PROWESS Fell. Let th' Heavens Design Thy Bliss: And let That ARM SCEPTER'D, Secure Thy Subjects from all Foreign Harm: [VI.] Behold, Heroick SOUL! Thy Subjects stand Ravish'd to see Thy Royal PRESENCE Bliss (After Fatiegues) this Isle's METROPOLIS. Each Heart doth send An Eccho to'ards the Sky, Thus Wishing, CAESAR Live! For Ever Live, say I,
Your MAJESTY's most Dutiful, [a]nd Loyal Subject, Benja. Harris.
