Poems upon several Occasions.

On the Queen’s Picture, given in
Exchange for another
.

OF the rude Indians, artless and untaught,
So brightest Jewels are with Trifles bought:
Deceiv’d Ixion's Fate revers’d is show’d,
Imperial Juno given for a Cloud.


On the Queen.

WHEN we reflect upon our charming Queen,
Her Wit, her Beauty, her Imperial Mein;
Majestick Juno in her Air we find,
The Form of Venus, with Minerva's Mind:
Who was so grac’d, she, she was fit alone
With Royal James to fill the British Throne.

LOVE.
