With all the Gods of Greece and Fortune on his Side. Nor long Bavarie's haughty Prince, in vain Labours the Fight unequal to maintain: He ſees tis doom d his fatal Friend the Gaul Shall ſhare the Shame, and in one Ruin fall; Flies from the Foe too oft 4a Battle try d, And Heay'n contehding on the Victor': Side; Then mourns bie ran Ambition's Crime too late, And yields reluctont to the Force of Fate, So when Eneas, thro” Night's gloomy Shade, |:

The dreadful Forms of Hoſtile Gods ſurvey'd,

Hopeleſs be-lefe the burning Town, end fled:

Or fave what Heav 'n had defſtin'd to deſtroy, "What vaſt Reward, O Europe, ſhale thou pay,

To him who ſay'd thee on this glorious Day! -

Bleſs him, ye grateful Nations, here he goes,

And heap the Victor's Laurel om his Broπ.ͤͤ.

To teach your ond ring gone che Herg's Praiſe;

To him your' s&f1fof Bards their Verſe ſhall bring,

Let the proud Column ver its Marble Head, For him the tune ful Voice be taught to ing - a

To Marts0rducn and Liberty decreed; Rich with his Wars triumphal'Arobes raiſe,

The breathing Pipe ſhall ſwell, ſhall found the erlag String.

Oh happy thou! where Peace for ever ſmiles,

Far Queen]! WMbo doſt amidſt thy Waters reign,

And ftretch thy Empire o'er the fartheſt Main;

What Tranſports in thy Parent Boſom roll'd,

When Fame at firſt the pleaſing Story told

How didſt thou life thy Tow'ry Front on high!

Proud of thy Son as Crere was of her Fove, | |

How wert thou pleas d Heay'n did thy Choice approve, c

And fixt Succeſs where thou hadſt fixt thy Love! *©

How with Regret his Abſence didſt thou mourn!

How with Impatience wait his wiſht Return

How were the Winds accus'd for his Delay? 0

How didſt thou chide the Gods who rule the Seca,

And charge the Nureid Nymphs co waft him on his Way! At length be comes, he ceaſes from his Toil,

Like Kings of Old returning from the Spoil;

He comes, their Joy and grateful Thanks to ſhare,

And lays his proudeſt/ Wreaths at ANN 4's Feet.

While ſorm' d alike for Labours or for Eaſe,
