II.
Yet when thou woud'st the Royal HERO sing,Thy Godlike Patron, and thy Godlike King!
Rough as a useful storm make him appear!
Or as that welcome Eastern Wind,
By which th'Almighty Pow'r design'd
Th'Egyptian Locust from the Land to bear.
Resolv'd as the first Messenger of Heav'n,
To whom the great Command was giv'n
The first Born Rebells to chastise;
Who, while the flaming Sword he bore,
'Twas only to declare his Pow'r,
And unusurpt maintain his Paradice.
Paint him like Mars when Battails were in view,
And no soft Venus cou'd his Soul subdue;
All bent for nobler spoil than Beauties Charms,
And loos'd a while from Sacred LAURA's Arms.
LAURA! the Chast! the Pious! and the Fair!
Glorious, and kind as Guardian-Angels are,
Earths darling Goddess! and Heav'ns tend'rest care!
