 | A poem Humbly Addrest to the Right Honourable the Earl of Portland |  |
This awful Scene of Majesty gives way
To one, tho not as Stately, yet as Gay.
The Heirs of Empire next your Message hear,
And in his Fav'rite our Great Lord revere.
Their beauteous Princesses your coming wait,
And wish your business had been more than state.
Their Eyes betray how much their Hearts adore
Our Prince, and wish his Friendship something more.
So soon Great actions will the Greatest move,
And what begets their Wonder kindle Love.
To one, tho not as Stately, yet as Gay.
The Heirs of Empire next your Message hear,
And in his Fav'rite our Great Lord revere.
Their beauteous Princesses your coming wait,
And wish your business had been more than state.
Their Eyes betray how much their Hearts adore
Our Prince, and wish his Friendship something more.
So soon Great actions will the Greatest move,
And what begets their Wonder kindle Love.
