The Twilight to the Saviors glorious Day;
When Shadows to the Substance must refign,
And Truth with unrebated Splendor shine.

TO THE

QUEEN.

O!

Of the Royal Martyr's Sacred
Race!

(Long may the Royal Martyr's
Race remain!)

Equal to fill our Great Eliza's Place, And Empires pond'rous Orb unmor'd

Sustain,

This humble Tribute, not unpleas'd, re

ceive,

Which at the Footstool of Tour Throne
I lay:

'Tis all a grateful Loyal Heart can give, 'Tis all that I for more than Life can pay

Not but the Sacred Truths thefe Leaves contain,

Are Treasures for the greatest Prince's
Breaft:

The Gems are right, tho' I their Luftre ftain,

The Gold, tho' rudely stamp'd, will bear the Teft.

I fing the Loves of the first Happy Pair,

While Paradise their smiling Hours employ'd ;

Remov'd from Want, remov'd from jeaLous Care,

State the Vertuous-Few have fince

enjoy'd.
