Poems on Affairs of State | ||
VII.
He now for Tagus Banks do's steer his Fleet,And with his thundring Squadrons Lisbon greet,
Which did the English so much wrong of late,
And for it must account unto the State.
Mean while those rich Brasilian Ships arrive,
Which with nine others outward bound do strive
Him to escape in vain, near all made Prize
By his successful Fleet, who like a wise
As well as gallant Captain, by his Care
For this great Spoil a Convoy doth prepare.
With this mellifluous Trophy from Brazil,
Which with its sweetness did all England fill,
In Triumph homewards he his Course doth bend,
Where Publick Service doth him still attend.
Yea to his Praise this may recorded be,
That as the End of War is Peace, so he
(After full Reparation by them made
To th'English) did restore both Peace and Trade.
