 ANN, the remaining Glory of the Race,

With unexampl'd Lutre fills the place,

Without their failings all their Virtue hares,

And Britains bright Imperial Joy prepares.

Blet be the Hour, blet that aupicious Reign

When ANN, the Stuarts lat Glory, hall obtain

That Calm both Nations long have wih'd in Vain.

When Years of Rapine and Revenge hall ceae,

And Feuds of Blood be lot in Floods of Peace;

Reerv'd for her, reerv'd to Crown the Line,

Sever'd too long, the litning Nations Joyn.

Nature directs, concurring Caue invites,

The Nations ay Amen, and all of coure Unites.

Then Party Hate and Border Spleen lay'd down,

Our Hearts hall firt unite, and then the Crown;

Britain be one, one End and Interet view,

And hand in hand one Happines purue.

A Gallaxy of Worthies now appear,

And pread the Caledonian Hemiphere;

ROXBURGH enjoys the Cure of all mans Praie,

And TWEEDDALE adds trueLutre to the ancient HAYS,

Grave and edate, he fill'd his Sovereign's Throne,

Maintain'd its Honour, and increa'd his own.

Montroe revives the Ancient Race of Gra'me,

From Time and Injury retrieves the Name,

Lays all his Family Oppreions by,
