I Sing the Prince the Scourge of Gallick Power, Who, if the Tyrant waft the Bastard o'er, Shall Britain Save as Nassau did before: Hail Mighty BRUNSWICK, in whose Glorious Veins The Blood of Emperors, Kings, and Heroes Reign. Shall Hair-brain'd Tories with their Right Divine Bring in a Perkin, or a Simmels Line, To sway a Scepter which the Gods make thine? No, SIR, they shan't, the Fates can never do That Wrong to us, if they be Just to YOU: When for our Sins Great ANNA shall demise, Must Romes Knight-Errant carry off the Prize? Does
(6) Does Lewis think a Viceroy to obtain By Forgery here, though he has done't in Spain? No, SIR, our Stars do better Things portend; YOU're our St. George, our Champion, and our Friend, Britannia from that Dragon to defend. As Orange once did save the Captive Maid, When by French Managers to Rome betray'd; So He foresaw she might be trick'd again, And chose Great HANOVER to break the Chain: Let Tories to their Lewis Homage do, We have a Greater GEORGE and LEWIS too, When you COME O'ER the Dogs will find it true: Our Lions with YOUR Eagles then display'd, Strike Terrour in the Fiends, French Lillies fade, And Marlborough shall bloom without a Shade.
FINIS.
