ON THE COUNTESS OF YARMOUTH MAKING THE CAMPAIGN.
WITH George, what hero can compare,Or who like him a sword can wield;
That dares protect his fav'rite fair,
Amid'st the thunder of the field?
202
In action Venus he dismiss'd,
Till he had made his foe to flee,
Then slyly after battle kiss'd.
But George, to love and war allied,
Both deities at once admires;
And swelling big with Martial pride,
By Love allays his glowing fires.
