A CONGRATULARY POEM , ON HIS MAJESTIES Happy Return . Phosphore redde diem , quid Gaudia nostra moraris Caesare Venturo ? Phosphore redde diem . WELCOME Thou Mightiest of the War-like Race , Whose nimble Conquests time wants speed to Trace , Nor with thy Swifter Glory's Fame keep Pace . The Third Historian , while he do's persue , Thy Victories , is overwhelm'd with new ! Thy Conduct , even our Hopes do's Antedate , It Works as Silent , and as Sure as Fate . Let now the Gallick Tyrant Beast no more A Stoln Bravado on the British Shoar , While He a Village burnt , Thou did'st a Realm restore . In joyful Chorus let the Muses join To Sing thy Tryumph on the Wondring Boyne : Tell how the frighted Shannon Sunk her Flood To be recruited soon with streams of Blood . Grieve not to leave the Stubborn Town behind , Your Arms no where can long Resistance find , And this Coy Mistress will at last be kind . The Season but prevented your Alarms , To bring her by consent into your Arms. Mean while let Fame thy Wondrous Deeds Repeat , And shake the Gallick Tyrant on his Seat . Where like some Dire Magician , in his Cell , He sit's contriving some new Impious Spell , Which he sends forth his Daemons to Perform , Well knowing how to raise , but dares not meet the Storm . Like wretched Nero , now he do's appear , Opprest with Nero's Guilt , and Nero's Fear . The Time comes on , when Britain shall Advance With Courage , taught long since , to Conquer France . Nor has the Tide of many Reuling Years , Wash'd the stain'd Fields of Gossey and Poictiers . A Conscious Horrour strikes their Bosoms Still , When they survey that Famous Fatal Hill , Where our Third Edward's Host Spectators stood , And left the Prince to make the Conquest good . Where will they Sculk when they the Banners view , Of a Third Edward , and a Black Prince too . WILLIAM alone in Honours List shall Stand , And Lewis shall no longer be le Grand . Fame shall no longer Caesar's Deeds Repeat , Nor Alexander more be stil'd the Great , WILLIAM the Third shall hold alone that Glorious Epithete . Then shall the British , and the Belgick Fleet , No Rival in their common Mistress Meet , But uncontroul'd in WILLIAM's Service Roam , Dreaded Abroad , because belov'd at Home . Who only Arms to make our Dangers Cease , His Wars are Glorious , for his End is Peace . FINIS .
