Londons SPEECH To His Royal Highness THE PRINCE of ORANGE , On the 20th . of this Instant December , 1688. Presented to his own Hand which he receiv'd very Graciously : And at the Request of some Noble Persons Order'd to be Publish'd . W hat Force , what Strength can Vanquish Your Alarms , I f Conqu'ring Heavens thus Protect your Arms ? L ost in Dispair and Tyranny , we lay L oaded with Chains of Rome's Imperial Sway : I nfirm for a Defence this Nation stood , A nd still had been , if thy all-pitying Blood , M ade no brave Sallys to withstand the Flood . H elp , help ye Powers ! but Mortals need not Pray ; E ach Juster God Participates the Fray . N ow Temples may with Awful Worship stand , R esults of Joy Crown all the Wishing Land ; Y ea , Rome her self may his kind Will Command . P eace so desir'd , yet so long absent here , R evives again , and does its Glory wear : I ustice abhor'd by none but Unjust Men , N ow , by your Aid , unsheaths her Sword agen : C ome on Great Sir , Victorious Prince , outdare E ach Act of Rome , nor all her Malice fear . O ur after-Age will Consecrate thy Fame F or this brave Act , for this Extol thy Name . O h ! to Erect a Fading Churches Head , R aise like a God , a Nation , though 't was Dead : A nd all the Pomp of Brittish Glory show ; N o Man but you , but you could ever do . G od the chief Healer of our Wounded State , E ach moment Shroud You from Rome's Killing Hate . FINIS .
