 Foreign Invaions and Intetine Wars;

Yet all her Native Beauty till appears.

Brittain's Left hand, which when he hall unite,

As Nature dictates, and the Fates Invite,

And join her younger Siter on the Right:

How hall they Mutual Wealth and Strength convey,

And with Contempt the weaker World Survey!

Till THAT BLEST HOUR, how does her Injur'd Name

Sleep in the Rubbih of her Ancient Fame?

Buried in Slander, by Reproach laid low:

And all the ditant World believes her o:

Then let us firt urvey her Fancy'd Here,

She'll find ome Reurrection in our Vere;

Till rouing from a long declining Fate,

WHOLE BRITTAIN hall her Glory reintate.

How have we plac'd her out of Nature's Eye,

Where Contant Colds Few Seeds of Life upply?

Where Nature Chill'd ome depicables dwell,

Immur'd with Darknes and ally'd to Hell.

No Moderate Bleings, no Endowment hare,

Nothing that's Pleaant ee, nothing delightful hear:
