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

The god of war out done we see;
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.
