A Memorial for Britons/On the Duke's Victory over the Rebels

by J. Duick

London Courant, 17 May, 1746.

On the DUKE's Victory over the Rebels.

OUR Pray'rs are heard, the Blessing ask'd, is giv'n,
Our Country is again the Care of Heav'n:
The Pow'r, supremely wise, supremely good,
Has crush'd the Sons of Violence and Blood;
And, what endears the Grace to Britain's Land,
The Office was con sign'd to WILLIAM's Hand.
WILLIAM, a Name that warms each Briti sh Brea st,
And, like NASSAU's, shall CUMBERLAND's be blest:
Blest be the Line from whence these Heroes sprung:
In deathless Records be their Praises sung;
And future Heroes, thence inspir'd, inclin'd
To humble Tyrants, and to save Mankind.
