II.—A CONTRAST.

When Anna dies, what genuine grief appears!
What mournful silence and ill-boding tears!
When George expires, what multitudes employ
Their shouts and bonfires to proclaim their joy!
Hope not, ye Tories, from a coming reign;
Resume despair, and own the triumph vain:
Another George may rise, but not another Anne.
