<HEAD>A CONGRATULATORY POEM, To the High and Mighty, CZAR of Mu&s;covy, On his Arrival in <HI>ENGLAND</HI> On <DATE><HI>Tue&s;day</HI> the 11th. of this In&s;tant <HI>January,</HI> 1697/8.</DATE></HEAD>
<LG>
<L>WElcome, Great MONARCH, to our happy Shore</L>
<L>Proud of a Glory ne'er known here before</L>
<L>What working Tran&s;ports mu&s;t Brave <HI>Britain</HI> &s;hew</L>
<L>Ble&s;t with the <HI>PEACE,</HI> the Great <HI>NASSAW,</HI> and You</L>
<L>A Peace, the greate&s;t Gift from Heaven can Flow</L>
<L>And You, the greate&s;t Men, the World can Show</L>
<L>What thronging JOYS our Smiling Lands Invade?</L>
<L>At once &s;o Happy, and &s;o Glorious Made.</L>
<L>You two, the Twins of Fate, who&s;e powerful Work</L>
<L>Subdues both <HI>MAHOMET,</HI> and the Chri&s;tian <HI>T&V;RK;</HI></L>
<L>Go on, Great SIR, pur&s;ue thy great De&s;ign</L>
<L>May thy Great SOUL in equal Conque&s;ts Shine.</L>
<L>Thy Gli&s;t'ning Sabre on proud <HI>A&s;ia</HI> Gleams,</L>
<L>Dazling the Frighted <HI>TARTERS</HI> by its Beams;</L>
<L>Its Conquering Steel &s;hall to the <HI>Ea&s;t</HI> give Law,</L>
<L>Whil&s;t <HI>NASSAW</HI>'s Scepter keeps the <HI>We&s;t</HI> in Awe.</L>
<L>Chri&s;t's firme&s;t Pillars, and the Chri&s;tians Prop</L>
<L>To keep the &s;inking Church, and Go&s;pel Up,</L>
<L>Thy Name makes <HI>ROME</HI> reflect on Heroes Slain,</L>
<L>And dread the Northern Nations once Again,</L>
<L>Thy Martial North, the Load-&s;tone of the War</L>
<L>Attracting &s;hining Steel, and Arms, Afar;</L>
<L>A moderate Warmth the Births of Peace Unfold,</L>
<L>But Glorious War, is Hatch'd and Nurs'd by Cold.</L>
<L>But what the Sun does to thy Lands Deny,</L>
<L>Is by a Native Heat &s;upply'd in Thee,</L>
<L>An active Heat, which does the World Survey,</L>
<L>And by its Beams, gilds <HI>Britain</HI> in the Way,</L>
<L>Like Travelling <HI>Phaebus</HI> round the World you Run,</L>
<L>And thus Compel the <HI>Ea&s;t</HI> t'adore the Ri&s;ing Sun.</L>
<L>May Roman Conque&s;ts be out done by Thee</L>
<L>And <HI>CZAR</HI> to more than <HI>CAESAR</HI> then extended Be.</L>
