Hail to the Shades, where William, Great in Arms,
Retir'd from Conquest to Maria's Charms!
Where George serene in Majesty appears,
And plans the Wonders of succeeding Years!
There, as he walks, his comprehensive Mind
Surveys the Globe, and takes in all Mankind:
While, Britain, for thy Sake he wears the Crown;
To spread thy Power as wide as his Renown:
To make Thee Umpire of contending States,
And poise the Ballance in the Worlds Debates.
