<L>The Triumph of that Noble day,</L>

<L>As being releas'd from that fear,</L>
<L>which threatned this Nation of late,</L>
<L>A ble&s;&s;ing is come in the rear,</L>

<L>The Lords and the Commons agreed,</L>
<L>and gave &s;atisfaction to all,</L>
<L>Tho' <HI>Romans</HI> fal&s;e rumours did breed,</L>
