<L><HI>ENgland's</HI> S^t GEORGE, who did the Virgin Free</L>
<L>From <HI>Dragon</HI>'s Jaws, was but a Type of Thee.</L>
<L>Thou (Noble <HI>George!)</HI> That Saint &s;urpa&s;&s;es farr;</L>
<L><HI>(Moncks</HI> Name alone hath quench't our Flaming Warr)</L>
<L>Hee, but One <HI>Dragon</HI> Slew, One <HI>Virgin</HI> Freed,</L>
<L>But Thou three <HI>Kingdoms</HI> ha&s;t Redeem'd, (Ble&s;t Deed!)</L>
<L>Redeem'd from numerous <HI>Dragon</HI>'s Tearing Paws,</L>
<L>(Who Kill'd our <HI>King,</HI> and Trampled on our <HI>Laws)</HI></L>
<L>Mon&s;ters of Mon&s;ters! (O mo&s;t &s;trange Defeat!)</L>
<L>And yet Thou did'&s;t not either Fight or Treat.</L>
<L>All this &s;o calmly, with &s;uch Silence too,</L>
<L>And &s;o much Speed, Thou did'&s;t Thy Self out-do.</L>
<L>The <HI>King</HI> is &s;o oblig'd, Him&s;elf doth owne</L>
<L>'Tis by Thy Conduct, Hee A&s;cends the Throne.</L>
<L>And our Three Nations All, All jointly do</L>
<L>Court Thee by <HI>Statues,</HI> and Adore <HI>Heaven</HI> too.</L>
<L>Three Kingdoms Th'ha&s;t United; (A new way!)</L>
<L>The <HI>King</HI> Hee thanks Thee, and the <HI>People</HI> pay</L>
<L>To Thee a Second Duty: Happy Thou,</L>
<L>To whom Three Nations uncon&s;trained Bow.</L>
<L>What Powerfull Charms in &s;weete&s;t Harmony</L>
<L>Surround thy Soul, <HI>Virtues Great Prodigy?</HI></L>
<L>Thy Valour hath been try'd by Sea and Land,</L>
<L>And Thou be&s;t know'&s;t on either to Command.</L>
<L>So Worthily Thou ha&s;t thy Self Behav'd,</L>
<L>Love in the Hearts of Both Sides is Ingrav'd.</L>
<L>Well may Our I&s;land Boa&s;t, to have brought Forth,</L>
<L>A Man &s;o Mode&s;t, of &s;uch Mighty Worth.</L>
<L>Succeeding Times &s;hall Wonder at the Fame</L>
<L>Wee Ju&s;tly Give, and Celebrate thy Name.</L>
<L>Thy Glorious Statue (of <HI>Corinthian</HI> Bra&s;s)</L>
<L>Shall &s;tand, whil'&s;t <HI>Time</HI> is <HI>Time,</HI> (the Looking-Gla&s;s</L>
<L>Of Thy Great Acts) And &s;tiled Thou &s;halt be</L>
<L>The <HI>Guardian</HI> ANGEL of Our <HI>Monarchie.</HI></L>
