Fortune thy Slave did Pale with Horrour stand Whilst Legions fell by thy avenging Hand O swiftly gone lost in thy blooming Years And all thy Triumphs overcast with Tears Unhappy Britain mourns her Heroes young Fate early Claims and Fame Enjoys them long A grateful Scene here streaming Banners yield And glitt'ring Trophies of the bloody Field Lamenting Gallia's Spoils in Battle won When British Princes fill'd her vanquish'd Throne Inur'd to Triumphs and renown'd in Fight Their Acts inspir'd the ancient Bards to write A noble Order next detains the Eye Where warlike Knights in Regal Habits lie In Honours great by fam'd Atchievements known Subjects are here Companions to the Throne Indulgent Powers on this Succession smile Devoted to the Saint that Guards our Isle This to Imperial Heads our Monarchs give And Europe's Potentates with Pride receive Rewards the Brave adds Lustre to a Throne Whilst honour'd Kings their British Sovereign own Caesar by this the noblest Triumph gains Advances Merit and o'er Princes reigns Why stops the prostrate Muse What awful Sight Transports thy Breast and long retards thy Flight Thro' pure Etherial Rays and Beams Divine I see the pious Worthy's radiant Shrine Hail Wainflet's Glory Rbedicina's Pride Patron of Arts and Virtue 's sacred Guide Permit the meanest of thy Race to come Adore thy Ashes and revere thy Tombe Auspicious Shade worthy to reign Above A bless'd Example of unbounded Love Officious Fame records thy Worth in vain Whose Bounty lives and wondrous Acts remain Let Angels tune their Harps and Voices raise Virtue 's the Theme when they recite thy Praise A Hundred Sons thy bounteous Off-spring pay Their grateful Vows with the returning Day Thy Acts reherse extol thy happy Name Supplying all the Hundred mouths of Fame Thou livest Immortal in thy glorious Race That Arts adorn and ev'ry Science grace To distant Poles they make thy Virtues known And whilst they spread thy Fame Record their own But Fame's unequal and the Muses flight In vain Essays to emulate thy height The lofty Theme they modestly decline Confessing Thee a Subject too Divine Elisa here Adorns the British Race Elisa fam'd for Wars renown'd in Peace Amidst a Circle of her Heroe's laid That form the Triumphs of the glorious Maid In distant Orbs her faithful Worthies shine With Beams reflected from the Virgins Shrine Divine Minerva boasts no greater Charms Than to excel in Arts and conqu'ring Arms. What Ranks of Sacred Urns appear within How bright the Prospect how august the Scene Had Albion ne'er contending Roses bred Nor groan'd beneath the fatal White and Red Had Civil Rage her Beauties ne'er defac'd Sully'd her Triumphs nor her Fame erac'd And guilty Britain never known the Stain Of Royal Blood and a Plebean Reign No Clime cou'd such a glorious Off-spring boast And Fame had fix'd her Shrine on Albion's Coast. Maria's Ashes close th' Imperial Line That Sweets diffuse with Matchless Beauties shine Maria blooming as the early Spring Soft as the Gales that fragrant Zephirs bring Chast as the Blushes of the colder Morn Sweet as the Perfumes that on Altars burn Pious as Age Fair as unshaded Light The Ear she Charm'd and Bless'd the ravish'd Sight Again She claims the Tribute of our Eyes Again Maria in Caesario Dies And here Immortal Youth accept a Place Equal with Heroes of thy Godlike Race Where Nymphs renown'd and Royal Worthies shine That bless'd the Land and merit Rites Divine Kindly receive thy Britain's flowing Tears And all the Honours paid thy blooming Years What Fate deny'd the grateful Muses give And make thy Name to Endless Ages live Whilst Mourning Albion languishes in Tears Sad with the Prospect of Succeeding Years Sees her deluded Wishes render'd Vain And all the Triumphs of thy promis'd Reign Enjoy amidst the bless'd Angellick Host A brighter Diadem than Britain's lost Appeas'd at length may Heav'n propitious Smile And with Indulgent Beams regard our Isle O may thy Innocence our Crimes atone And Anna's Off-spring sent for Blessings down With long Descents of Heroes fill the Throne FINIS

A lonely Mansion here erects its Head Rapacious as the Grave and stor'd with Dead Low'ring it stands on this detested Ground With Spoils of Youth and ravish'd Beauty crown'd Ancient as Time the pompous Work of Shade Rejecting Form and slighting Nature's Aid Beauty and Art the Ruder mass disdains Where Fate refides and Death in Triumph reigns The mournful Dome eludes our injur'd Sight Casts Terrours round and forms a deeper Night Obscure with Mists the Sable Front appears For ever Cold and Wet with falling Tears There Ranks of unregarded Urns remain And shatter'd Tombs an horrid Pomp maintain Proud Mausolaeums moulder there in State Magnificent with Heaps in Ruins great With Human Bones the ghastly Pavement's spread The last Remains of the neglected Dead There dying Lamps there solemn Tapers burn And long descending Vaults in endless Silence mourn Inglorious Crowds here undistinguish'd come To Nature's last Retreat a Peaceful Tombe An easie Change to Minds that seek no more But covet Rest and dream'd out Life before Those whom no Arts no shining Actions grace That liv'd obscure and fell a worthless Race Here in the Arms of kind Oblivion laid Their Names forgot they sleep beneath this Shade This Scene of Horrour but prepares the Way To Fields of Bliss Realms of Etherial Day This but an Entrance to the Sacred Pile Where Arts triumph and Native Graces smile Crystalline Roofs the glorious Dome adorn Fair as the Blushes of the rising Morn On Columns rais'd in beauteous Orders plac'd With Statues crown'd Triumphal Arches grac'd The Eye from far salutes the blest Abode Adores the Temple and the Guardian God In Consort here a hundred Trumpets join Return'd by Echoes thro' the vaulted Shrine Loud Hymns of Praise and joyful Paeans sound That reach extreamest Earth and Heav'ns superiour round Here Fame presides here jealous Honour stands To guard their Off-spring from the Tyrant's hands To keep the Heroe's boasted Name alive And make the Glorious after Death survive And here are Urns but Urns with Myrtle bound Adorn'd with Wreaths with deathless Laurels crown'd Whose sacred Ashes lasting Sweets diffuse And Bless the Toils of the recording Muse.
