EPIGRAM CIII.
[When, late, our Sovereign's health restor'd]
IN NOVA FERT ANIMUS.
When, late, our Sovereign's health restor'd,
A Nation's feelings prov'd,
How universal was th' accord,
That hail'd the King we lov'd!
A Nation's feelings prov'd,
How universal was th' accord,
That hail'd the King we lov'd!
Consent so general, in our days,
Was something novel—True!—
But novelty then, claim'd double praise,
Because 'twas Duty too.
