A LATIN INSCRIPTION
ON A MEDAL TOR LEWIS XIV. OF FRANCE.

Proximus et ſimilis regnas, Ludovice, tonanti,
Vim ſummam, ſumma cum pietate, geris;
Magnus es expanſis alis, ſed maximus armis,3
Protegis hinc Anglos, Teutones inde feris.
Quin cöeant toto Titania fœdera Rheno,
Illa Aquilam tantùm, Gallia fulmen habet.6

ENGLISHED,
AND APPLIED TO QUEEN ANNE.

Next to the Thunderer let Anna ſtand,
In piety ſupreme as in command;
Fam’d for victorious arms and generous aid,3
Young Auſtria’s refuge and fierce Bourbon’s dread.
Titanian leagues in vain ſhall brave the Rhine,
When to the Eagle you the thunder join.6

A MORNING HYMN.
TO THE DUCHESS OF HAMILTON.

Awake, bright Hamilton! ariſe,
Goddeſs of Love and of the Day;
Awake, diſcloſe thy radiant eyes,
And ſhew the ſun a brighter ray:
Phœbus in vain calls forth the blushing morn;5
He but creates the day which you adorn.
