Advance! advance! thy Time is now at hand,
Receive thy Honours and supream Command,
Thou precious Offspring of the Gods above!
Thou bless'd and vast Munificence of Jove!
Behold the World by sinful Weight oppress'd,
Inclines to yield; Earth, Sea, and Heav'n distress'd,
Require thy Help: Lo! Nature lifts her Voice,
And all things at th' approaching Age rejoyce!
