Mecenas
, Mighty in the Arts of Peace,
Brought Rest to Rome, and you to Britain Ease.
Like his, your Counsels sav'd the Nation's blood,
Like his, the Rivals of your Lord Subdu'd.
Both made their foes accept the terms they scorn'd,
VVent forth for Peace, and Both with Peace return'd.
Thus Welcome to your Masters arms you come,
Thus Welcome to his Realms, as he to Rome.
Brought Rest to Rome, and you to Britain Ease.
Like his, your Counsels sav'd the Nation's blood,
Like his, the Rivals of your Lord Subdu'd.
