The Poems of Ambrose Philips | ||
133
In the YEAR 1714.
In this bright List may generous Passions reign;And every British Fair a slave disdain!
While, stung with Envy, servile Nations see
Our Nymphs so Beautiful; our Men so Free!
In vain the mock Saint-George would give Alarms
To English Valour, rais'd by English Charms.
How glorious is the Heat, how strong the Fire,
When Liberty and Love, at once, inspire!
