With manly valour and attractive air
Shalt quell the fierce, and captivate the fair.
O England's younger hope! in whom confpire
The mother's fweetness, and the father's fire?
For thee perhaps, even now, of kingly race
Some dawning beauty blooms in every grace,
Some Carolina, to heav'n's dictates true,
Who, while the scepter'd rivals vainly fue,
Thy inborn worth with confcious eyes fhall fee,
And flight th' imperial diadem for thee.

Pleas'd with the profpect of fucceffive reigns,
The tuneful tribe no more in daring strains
Shall vindicate, with pious fears oppreft,
Endanger'd rights, and liberty diftreft:

To milder founds each muse fhall tune the lyre,
And gratitude, and faith to Kings inspire,

And filial love; bid impious difcord cease,
And footh the madding factions into peace;
Or rife ambitious in more lofty lays,

And teach the nation their new monarch's praise,
Defcribe his awful look, and godlike mind, ·
And Cæfar's power with Cato's virtue join'd.

Mean-while,brightPRINCESS, who, with gracefulease

And native majesty art form'd to please,
Behold thofe arts with a propitious eye,

That fuppliant to their great protectress fly!

Then

Then shall they triumph, and the British stage
Improve her manners, and refine her rage,
More noble characters expofe to view,
And draw her finish'd heroines from you.

Nor you the kind indulgence will refuse,
Skill'd in the labours of the deathlefs mufe:
The deathless mufe with undiminish'd rays
Through diftant times the lovely dame conveys,
To Gloriana Waller's harp was ftrung;

The Queen ftill shines, because the Poet fung.
Even all thofe graces, in your frame combin'd,
The common fate of mortal charms may find;
(Content our short-liv'd praises to engage,
The joy and wonder of a fingle age)
Unless fome Poet in a lafting fong

To late pofterity their fame prolong,

Inftruct our fons the radiant form to prize,
And see your beauty with their fathers' eyes.
