Q. Elizabeth. WElcome dear Sister to these Realms above, These Mansions of Eternal Bliss and Love; Of all the British Princes thou the best, Even Heav'n is proud to see so bright a Guest. Q. Mary II. Oh! load me not with Praises that are due, Illustrious Shade, to such alone as you, Long before me the glittering Prize you won, I only trod the footsteps you begun. Q. Elizabeth. Since both our Cares for Englands Good did send, Since thither both our Thoughts did wholly bend, What each for her has done, let each rehearse, And let the Muse stand by with flowing Verse. Q. Mary II. Then you begin, in Age as Merit first, The kindest Princess that fair Albion Nurst: For your harmonious Words more sweetness share, Than Indian Odour, that refresh the Air. Q. Elizabeth. When first the Scepter in my Hand I bore, I found the Nation stain'd with Martyr's Gore, With superstitious Romes vain Idols led, At my approach the airy Phantoms fled. Q. Mary II. Nor did the Land under less Pressures groan, When I did first ascend the British Throne: St. OMERS Tribe did all the Isle Alarm, But I Dissolv'd the Babylonian Charm. Q. Elizabeth. Spains haughty Tyrant wing'd with vast desire, To subjugate my Kingdoms did aspire; Vainly he tryd to bring the Spanish Yoke, Arm'd with the Truth, I all his Measures broke. Q. Mary II. What Philip try'd to compass in your Reign, Lately proud LEWIS fancy'd to obtain, But Heaven indulgent still to Me and Mine, Ruin'd his Hope, and blasted his Design. Q. Elizabeth. With this Ambitious Vanity betray'd, The Spaniards came Britannia to invade; Scarce by the Winds mov'd on, they sail'd in State, While the prest Ocean groan'd beneath the weight. Q. Mary II. Why shou'd not France from Spains Example learn, And wisely from their loss her own descern? With the same towring Thoughts she took the Main, And for this Isle prepar'd a Gally Chain.
Q. Elizabeth. Immortal Drake, whose ever sounding Name Shall live in all the Provinces of Fame, With matchless Vigour their whole Fleet assail'd, Nor, tho far weaker, in the Action fail'd. Q. Mary II. RUSSEL, for me with like success engaged, At treacherous Gallia's high Designs enraged. The same stupendious Things he did for me, Which mighty Drake so well perform'd for thee. Q. Elizabeth. And now the Spanish Pride turn'd to Despair, Some Sunk, some Burnt, some blown up in the Air: They now repented their unjust Design, Pursu'd by English Hearts, and Wrath Divine. Q. Mary II. In vain, the Winds invok'd, did Tourville try To fly from RUSSEL and from Destiny: His haughty SUN was bravely set on Fire, And did between two Elements expire. Q. Elizabeth. That I repress'd th' Aspiring Power of Spain, And rode Triumphant Princess of the Main; My Fleet Victorious Sail'd from Pole to Pole, Where Winds cou'd carry, and where Waves cou'd rowl. Q. Mary II. France, which to double Empire did pretend, And did by Sea and Land her Thoughts extend, Learnt to her loss and loudly now does own, The Ocean does belong to Britains Throne. Q. Elizabeth. Nor did the fair Britannia only share The good Effects of my unwearied Care: But Holland too my Bounteous Hands reliev'd, And from dispair that Infant State retriev'd. Q. Mary II. Holland, that kindness largely has repay'd, The Great NASSAW She sent to Englands Aid; While Rome stood ready England to Devour My Heroe then stept in, and broke her Power. Q. Elizabeth. Ireland, which Vainly did on Spain rely, To shake off Albions Government did try; I by my Captains several Battels won, But did not Live to see the Conquest done. Q. Mary II. That treacherous Isle, so often stain'd with Blood, William the Bold, while at the Boyne he stood, Reduc'd by force, and taught her to Obey, Nor cou'd the French Relief, her Fate delay.
Q. Elizabeth. The zealous Champions of th' Heavenly Word, Whene're Persecuted by Fire or Sword; My open Arms receiv'd. In vain had Rome, Doom'd them to starve, for I revers'd their Doom. Q. Mary II. As the kind Elm supports the tender Vine, So did great Williams, and my Care combine To save the Church, which has so long defy'd Genevas Lake, and Tibers powerful Tide. Q. Elizabeth. My Subjects with their Purses serv'd the Throne, What they posses'd I always thought my own; I never did their Liberties Infringe, Nor sought the Constitution to Unhinge. Q. Mary II. Nor were they backward with their Lives and Blood In my defence, to seek the Nation's Good; They thought their Treasures well laid out to see, Religion sav'd, and baffl'd Tyrany. Q. Elizabeth. Since Fate's All-ruling Hand has then remov'd Us Two from England, we so dearly lov'd: For her Prosperity our Prayers we'll Joyn, May England Flourish, and may Rome Decline. Q. Mary. II. May William long the British Scepter Sway, Long may He Live, His Subjects long Obey; May he the Guilty Tyrant's Projects blast, And Europe's Liberty restore at last. Q. Elizabeth. May gentle Peace and Plenty Grace the Isle, May Justice Triumph, and may Virtue smile: May Vice discourag'd, fly the powerful Light, And ever bury'd lye in shades of Night. Q. Mary II. May Britains Ancient Liberty prevail, Her Rights may no Tyrant's Hand assail: And may succeeding Princes learn from me, To Reign with Wisdom, and with Clemency.
