Poems on Affairs of State | ||
XI.
He yet engag'd is in more dreadful Fights,Which all the World on every Coast afrights:
New Fires of War betwixt two Protestant
And Neighbour Nations kindled are, which want
Not Rome's Fomenters; which the British, French,
And the Batavian Seas could hardly quench:
That Thunder-striking and Dutch Admiral,
Which Scilly late did court; that Hannibal,
With fair Pretexts, attempteth to surprize
Our Royal Downs, a Sore unto his Eyes.
Our watchful Scipio, now in the Great James,
By him made greater soon appears, and tames
The Belgick Lion, with his roaring Whelps.
Tho three to one, the Lord of Hosts still helps
Such as on him in just Appeals depend,
And to that righteous Judg their Cause commend.
