Written
for
my
Son
to
his
Master
,
on
the
Anniversary
of
the
Battle
of
the
Boyne
.
Is
what
we
owe
great
William
then
Forgotten
by
ungrateful
Men
?
And
has
His
Fame
run
out
its
Date
,
Who
snatch'd
us
from
the
Brink
of
Fate
?
Else
,
why
should
Scholars
,
Sir
,
I
pray
,
Be
Prisners
on
this
glorious
Day
;
When
Nassau's
Arms
,
by
Heav'n's
Decree
,
Devoted
it
to
Liberty
?
