Votum Duplex.

TO CLARA. On the Eleventh of October, 1728 .

Two wish'd Events did this Glad Day adorn,
When George was Crown'd, and beauteous Clara Born:
May Each in peaceful Triumphs happy prove,
He blest in Loyalty, and You in Love.

Clara's Mother is the justly admired Mrs. Catherine Trotter, a very poetical and philosophical Lady: She has written five Plays. Agnes de Castro. Fatal Friendship. The unhappy Penitent. The Revolution of Sweden. (Tragedies) Love at a Loss: or, Most Votes carry it. A Comedy. Several Novels, Letters, &c. and a pretty Piece in Defence of Mr. Locke's Essay, on Human Understanding. She was reclaimed from the Errors of the Church of Rome, in which she was educated, by the late Dr. Burnet, Bishop of Salisbury, and recommended to the Rev. Mr. C. of Aberdeen, who married her.
