“Embrace imperial Robes, ascend a Throne,
“The Parliament on you have fix'd the Crown,
“Reign o'er the Trees, and scatter Blessings down.
“Blest will the Subjects be in this Realm,
“When Bacchus, noble Bacchus, steers the Helm;
“Triumphant Joy will reign through all the Plains,
“And chearful Blood will circ'late thro' our Veins;
“Poets will write thy Life in Dythriambick Strains:
“'Twill be a joyful Reign as e'er was seen,
“Trees will be ever glad, and ever green.
“Come then blyth Bacchus, be anointed King,
“Rule o'er the Trees, and happy be thy Reign.
“The Parliament on you have fix'd the Crown,
“Reign o'er the Trees, and scatter Blessings down.
