Here then, O James! let the long contest end,
And on this issue let thy birth depend;
In the wide forum of imperial Rome,
Build a large stage and bid the lazars come,
By this grand secret prove the Stuart line,
And let thy cures confirm thy right divine:
If at thy touch the ulcers dye away,
The sores heal up, and all the scabs decay,
In spight of Burnet's tales, and Britain's scorn,
Will own thee most miraculously born.
And on this issue let thy birth depend;
In the wide forum of imperial Rome,
Build a large stage and bid the lazars come,
By this grand secret prove the Stuart line,
And let thy cures confirm thy right divine:
9
The sores heal up, and all the scabs decay,
In spight of Burnet's tales, and Britain's scorn,
Will own thee most miraculously born.
