Like impious is their Rage, who have in chace
A new Omnipotence in Grafton's Face.
Bold Rochester, undaunted, just, and wise,
Asserts the Goddess with the charming Eyes:
Beauty her Orders, like th' Almighty, sends,
And Rochester, like Michaël, cleaves the Fiends:

For thee, her noble Champion and her Guard!
Beauty triumphs, and Law submitting lyes,
The Tyrant tam'd, aloud for Mercy cries:

of Granville in Normandy.
THO' built by Gods, consum'd by hostile Flame
Troy bury'd lyes, yet lives the Trojan Name,
And so shall thine, tho' with these Walls were lost
All the Records thy Ancestors cou'd boast.
For Latium conquer'd, and for Turnus slain,
Æneas lives, tho' not one Stone remain
Where he arose: Nor art thou less renown'd
For thy loud Triumphs on Hungarian Ground.
