A CONGRATULATORY POEM , To the High and Mighty , CZAR of Muscovy , On his Arrival in ENGLAND On Tuesday the 11th . of this Instant January , 1697/8. WElcome , Great MONARCH , to our happy Shore Proud of a Glory ne'er known here before What working Transports must Brave Britain shew Blest with the PEACE , the Great NASSAW , and You A Peace , the greatest Gift from Heaven can Flow And You , the greatest Men , the World can Show What thronging JOYS our Smiling Lands Invade ? At once so Happy , and so Glorious Made . You two , the Twins of Fate , whose powerful Work Subdues both MAHOMET , and the Christian TVRK ; Go on , Great SIR , pursue thy great Design May thy Great SOUL in equal Conquests Shine . Thy Glist'ning Sabre on proud Asia Gleams , Dazling the Frighted TARTERS by its Beams ; Its Conquering Steel shall to the East give Law , Whilst NASSAW's Scepter keeps the West in Awe . Christ's firmest Pillars , and the Christians Prop To keep the sinking Church , and Gospel Up , Thy Name makes ROME reflect on Heroes Slain , And dread the Northern Nations once Again , Thy Martial North , the Load-stone of the War Attracting shining Steel , and Arms , Afar ; A moderate Warmth the Births of Peace Unfold , But Glorious War , is Hatch'd and Nurs'd by Cold. But what the Sun does to thy Lands Deny , Is by a Native Heat supply'd in Thee , An active Heat , which does the World Survey , And by its Beams , gilds Britain in the Way , Like Travelling Phaebus round the World you Run , And thus Compel the East t' adore the Rising Sun . May Roman Conquests be out done by Thee And CZAR to more than CAESAR then extended Be.
