The Works of the Late Aaron Hill | ||
To the lovely Mrs. H---e,
on her Descent from the first Saxon Kings of our Island.
H---e, sweet name! whose princely meaning shows,From what high spring, your blood's rich current flows,
With needless awe, reminds us of your race,
Since heav'n has stampt dominion on your face.
Still, in your sov'reign form, distinctly live,
All royal rights, your father kings could give!
In your commanding air, we mark their state,
And, in your words, their wisdom, and their weight.
Warm, in your noble breast, their courage lies,
And all their pow'r, and mercy, in your eyes.
