TO
Her
MAJESTY
.
QUEEN
of
the
Northern
World
,
whose
gentle
Sway
Invites
our
Love
,
and
binds
our
Hearts
t'
Obey
:
Forgive
the
Nation's
Groan
when
William
dy'd
;
Lo
,
at
thy
Feet
in
all
the
Loyal
Pride
Of
rising
Joy
Three
Happy
Realms
appear
,
And
William's
Urn
almost
without
a
Tear
Stands
;
nor
Complains
:
While
from
thy
Gracious
Tongue
Peace
flows
in
Silver
Streams
amidst
the
Throng
.
Amazing
Balm
,
that
on
those
Lips
was
found
To
heal
the
Twinges
of
that
Mortal
Wound
,
The
Danger
,
and
the
Scar
!
Far-distant
Lands
Whose
Lives
lay
trusted
in
Nassovian
Hands
Transfer
their
Souls
,
and
live
;
secure
they
Play
In
thy
Mild
Rays
,
and
feel
a
growing
Day
.
Thy
beamy
Wing
at
once
defends
and
warms
Fainting
Devotion
;
whilst
in
various
Forms
Fair
Piety
shines
thro'
the
Brittish
Isles
:
Here
at
thy
Side
,
and
in
thy
kindest
Smiles
Blazing
in
Ornamental
Gold
she
stands
,
To
Bless
thy
Councils
,
and
Assist
thy
Hands
,
And
Crowds
wait
round
her
to
receive
Commands
.
There
at
a
Humble
distance
from
the
Throne
Beauteous
She
lies
;
Her
Lustre
all
her
own
,
Ungarnish'd
;
yet
not
blushing
,
nor
afraid
,
Nor
knows
Suspicion
,
nor
affects
the
Shade
.
In
Words
of
Solemn
Form
,
or
with
a
freer
Cry
Warm
as
our
Zeal
for
Thee
,
We
Both
address
the
Sky
,
Vow
for
thy
Safety
Both
,
and
live
beneath
thine
Eye
.
PRINCESS
,
the
World
already
owns
thy
Name
;
Go
,
mount
the
Chariot
of
Immortal
Fame
,
Nor
Die
to
be
Renown'd
:
Fames
loudest
Breath
Too
dear
is
purchas'd
by
an
Angels
Death
.
The
Thunder
of
thy
Hand
with
general
Joy
Shall
crush
Rebellion
and
the
Rival
Boy
:
Thy
Sounding
Arms
his
Gallick
Patron
hears
,
And
speeds
his
Flight
;
nor
overtakes
his
Fears
Till
hard
Despair
wring
from
the
Tyrant's
Soul
The
Iron
Tears
out
.
Let
thy
Frown
controul
Our
Angry
Jarrs
at
Home
,
till
Wrath
submit
Her
Bloody
Banners
to
thine
Awful
Feet
.
Mad
Zeal
and
Frenzy
with
their
Murtherous
Train
Flee
these
Blest
Realms
in
thine
Auspicious
Reign
,
Envy
expire
in
Rage
,
and
Treason
bite
the
Chain
.
Let
no
black
Scenes
affright
the
Brittish
Stage
,
Thy
Thread
of
Life
prolong
our
Golden
Age
,
Long
bless
the
Earth
:
Then
rise
and
shine
on
high
The
fairest
Glory
of
the
Western
Sky
;
There
check
the
Rays
of
each
Malignant
Star
,
Heal
the
dire
Pestilence
,
forbid
the
War
,
Warm
the
chill
North
,
Sooth
the
two
Rugged
Bears
,
And
stretch
thy
Peaceful
Influence
to
the
Southern
Spheres
.
