SOON AFTER THE PEACE OF UTRECHT.

HAIL! tricking Monarch, more fuccefsful far
In arts of peace, than glorious deeds of war ;
As Anna's great Ambaffadress I come,

With news that will rejoice both you and Rome.
Ne'er did the French affairs fo gaily fin le
This hundred years, as now in Britain's isle ;
For there the rage of blind delufion reigns,

And fpreads her fury o'er the ftupid fwains.
The Ls, the Cs, with the priests, confpire
To raise your pow'r, and their own ruin hire.
The Queen herself, with qualms of confcience preft,
Seems to advance your caufe above the rest:

VOL. IV.

* Du-fs of Shrewsbury.

B

Her

Her gen'rous temper can't forget fo foon
The royal favours you have always done,
Both to her father and his injur'd son ;
And, therefore, is contriving every day
This mighty debt of gratitude to pay :
For
you
The ceas'd the thunder of the war,
Laid up her fleet, and left the channel bare:
For you, the fighting Marlborough's difgrac'd,
And in his room a peaceful general plac'd :
For you the broke her word, her friends betray'd,
With joy look'd on, and faw them victims made.
She knows fhe has no right the crown to wear,
And fain would leave it to the lawful heir.
In order to effect this grand defign,
And baffle all the Hanoverian line,
A fet of minifters fhe lately chose,

To honour, and their country, equal foes:
Wretches! whose indigence has made them bold,
Who would betray their native land for gold.
Oxford's the chief of this abandon'd clan ;
Him you must court, for he's your only man.
Dartmouth and Bolingbroke are friends to you ;
But 'tis not in their power much hurt to do.
But Oxford reigns prime minister of state,
Ruling the nation at a mighty rate :

He, like a conjurer with his magic wand,

Doth both the queen and parliament command.
