English poem
To the KING
by Anonymous
Who can attempt a more exalted theme, What loftier subject can Apollo chuse, Than thee, O GEORGE? Afar thy virtues gleam, Awaken glory, and inspire the muse.
Nor shall the muse a nobler Monarch find, A Monarch worthier of eternal fame; Endow'd with justice and a virtuous mind, Richer in honour and a glorious name.
In vain exulting foes against thee arm, Whilst mightier Heav'n defeats their dark designs, The godhead's love preserves thee free from harm, Smiles on thy reign, and round those islands shine.
