XIV.

March on, Great Heroe! as thou hast begun,
And crown our Happiness before th' ast done
We have another CHARLES to fetch from Spain,
Be thou the GEORGE to bring him back again:
Then shalt thou be (what was deny'd that Knight)
Thy Princes, and the Peoples Favorite.
There is no danger of the Winds at all,
Unless together by the Ears they fall,
Who shall the honour have to waft a King:
And they who gain it, while they work shall sing.
Methinks I see how those Triumphant Gales,
Proud of the great Enployment, swell the Sails:
The joyful Ship shall dance, the Sea shall laugh,
And loyal Fish their Masters health shall quaff:
See how the Dolphins croud and thrust their large
And scaly shoulders, to assist the Barge;
The peaceful Kingfishers are met together
About the Decks and prophesie calm weather;
Poor Crabs and Lobsters are gone down to creep,
And search for Pearls and Jewels in the deep;
20

And when they have the booty,—crawl before,
And leave them for his welcome to the Shore.
