Viceroys, like Providence, with diftant care,
Shall govern kingdoms where they ne'er appear:
Pacific admirals, to fave the fleet,

Shall fly from conqueft, and fhall conqueft meet:
Commanders shall be prais'd at William's coft,
And honor be retriev'd before 'tis loft.
Brereton and Burnaby the court fhall grace,
And Howe shall not difdain to share a place.
Forgotten Molyneux and Mason now
Revive and fhine again in Fox and Howe.

But as they stronger grow and mend their strain,
By choice examples of King Charles's reign;
Bold Bellafis and patriot D'Avenant then,
One fhall employ the fword, and one the pen:
Troops fhall be led to plunder, not to fight,
The tool of faction fhall to peace invite,

And foes to union be employ'd the kingdoms to unite.
Yet ftill fome Whigs among the peers are found,
Like brambles flourishing in barren ground,
Somers maliciously employs his care
To make the lords the legislature share.
Burnet declares how French dragooning rofe,
And bishops perfecuting bills oppofe:
Till Rochefter's cool temper fhall be fir'd,

And thou, great Weymouth, to reward thy charge, Shalt fail to Lambeth in his Grace's barge.

See by bafe rebels James the Juft betray'd, See his three realms by vile ufurpers fway'd; Then fee with joy his lawful heir reftor'd, And erring nations own their injur'd lord.

O would kind heaven fo long my life maintain, Infpiring raptures worthy such a reign! Not Thracian Saint John should with me contend, Nor my fweet lays harmonious Hammond's mend: Not though young D'Avenant, St. John fhould protect, Or the fhrew'd Doctor, Hammond's lines correct. Nay, fhould Tredenham in St. Mawes compare his fongs to mine,

admir'd.

come on ;

Receive just honors, and surround the throne.
Boldly your loyal principles maintain,

Hedges now rules the ftate, and Rooke the main.
Grimes is at hand the members to reward,
And troops are trufted to your own Gerhard.
The faithful club affembles at the Vine,

And French intrigues are broach'd o'er English wine.
Freely the fenate the defign proclaims,

Affronting William, and applauding James.

Good ancient members, with a folemn face,

Propose that safety give to order place;

And what they dare not openly diffuade,

Is by expedients ineffectual made.

Ev'n Finch and Mulgrave, whom the court carefs,
Exalt its praifes, but its power deprefs;
And, that impartial justice may be seen,
Confrm to friends what they refus'd the Queen.
