ENgland's St GEORGE, who did the Virgin Free
|
From Dragons Jaws, was but a Type of Thee.
|
Thou (Noble George!) That Saint surpasses farr;
|
(Moncks Name alone hath quench't our Flaming Warr)
|
Hee, but One Dragon Slew, One Virgin Freed,
|
But Thou three Kingdoms hast Redeem'd, (Blest Deed!)
|
Redeem'd from numerous Dragons Tearing Paws,
|
(Who Kill'd our King, and Trampled on our Laws)
|
Monsters of Monsters! (O most strange Defeat!)
|
And yet Thou did'st not either Fight or Treat.
|
All this so calmly, with such Silence too,
|
And so much Speed, Thou did'st Thy Self out-do.
|
The King is so oblig'd, Himself doth owne
|
'Tis by Thy Conduct, Hee Ascends the Throne.
|
And our Three Nations All, All jointly do
|
Court Thee by Statues, and Adore Heaven too.
|
Three Kingdoms Th 'hast United; (A new way!)
|
The King Hee thanks Thee, and the People pay
