Of Sciences the ruined Inns restore, With walls and ports in circle Neptune's shore, To new found worlds thy Fleets make hold their course, And find of Canada the unknown Source, People those Lands which pass Arabian fields In fragrant Wood and Musk which Zephyre yields; Thou feared of none, shalt not thy people fear, Thy people's love thy greatness shall upreare, Still rigour shall not shine, and mercy lower, What love can do thou shalt not do by power, New and vast taxes thou shalt not extort, Load heavy those thy bounty should support, By harmless justice graciously reform, Delighting more in calm than roaring storm, Thou shalt govern in peace as did thy Sire, Keep, save thine own, and kingdoms new acquire, Beyond Alcides' Pillars, and those bounds Where Alexander's fame till now resounds, Till thou the greatest be among the Greats; Thus heavens ordain, so do decree the Faits. Son of the Lion, thou of loathsome bands Shalt free the earth, and what ere thee withstands Thy noble paws shall tear, the God of Thrace Shall be the second, and before thy face, To Truth and justice, whilst thou Trophies rears, Armies shall fall dismayed with Panic fears, As when Aurora in skies azure lists Makes shadows vanish, doth disperse the mists, And in a twinkling with her opal light, Night's horrors checketh, putteth stars to flight, More to inflame thee to this noble task, To thee he here resigns his Sword and Cask▪ A wall of flying Castles, armed Pines Shall bridge thy sea, like heaven with steel that shines, To aid earth's tenants by soul yokes oppressed, And fill with fears the great King of the West: To thee already Victory displays Her garlands twined with Olive, Oak, and Bays, Thy triumphs finish shall all old debates; Thus Heavens decree, so have ordained the Fates. WEalth, Wisdom, Glory, Pleasure, stoutest hearts, Religion, Laws, Hyperion imparts To thy just Reign, which shall far far surpass, Of Emperors, Kings, the best that ever was; Look how he dims the stars; thy glories rays, So darken shall the lustre of these days: For in fair virtues Zodiac thou shalt run, And in the heaven of worthies be the Sun. No more contemned shall hapless Learning lie; The maids of Pindus shall be raised high; For Bay and Ivy which their brows enrolled, Thou shalt them deck with gems and shining gold; Thou open shalt Parnassus Crystal gates, Thus heavens ordain, so do decree the Fates. THe Alcidanian Queen amidst the Bays Shall twine her myrtles, grant thee pleasant days; She did make clear thy house, and with her light Of churelesse stars, put back the dismal spite, Thy Hymenaean bed fair brood shall grace, Which on the earth continue shall their race, While Flora's treasure shall the Meads endear, While sweet Pomona Rose-cheeked fruits shall bear, While Phaebes beams her brothers emulates: Thus Heavens decree, so have ordained the Fates.

Of Sciences the ruin'd Innes restore, With walls and ports in circle Neptunes shore, To new found worlds thy Fleets make hold their course, And find of Canada the unknowne Sourse, People those Lands which passe Arabian fields In fragrant Wood and Muske which Zephyre yields; Thou fear'd of none, shalt not thy people feare, Thy peoples love thy greatnesse shall up-reare, Still rigour shall not shine, and mercy lower, What love can doe thou shalt not doe by power, New and vast taxes thou shalt not extort, Load heavy those thy bounty should support, By harmelesse Iustice graciously reforme, Delighting more in calme then roaring storme, Thou shalt governe in peace as did thy Sire, Keepe, save thine owne, and kingdomes new acquire, Beyond Alcides Pillars, and those bounds Where Alexanders fame till now resounds, Till thou the greatest be among the Greats; Thus heauens ordaine, so doe decree the Faits. SOnne of the Lyon, thou of loathsome bands Shalt free the earth, and what e're thee withstands Thy noble pawes shall teare, the God of Thrace Shall be the second, and before thy face, To Truth and Iustice, whil'st thou Trophees reares, Armies shall fall dismayd with Pannick feares, As when Aurora in skies azure lists Makes shaddowes vanish, doth disperse the mists, And in a twinckling with her opall light, Nights horrours checketh, putteth starres to flight, More to inflame thee to this noble taske, To thee he here resignes his Sword and Caske ▪ A wall of flying Castles, armed Pines Shall bridge thy sea, like heaven with steele that shines, To aide earths tennants by soule yoakes opprest, And fill with feares the great King of the West: To thee already Victory displayes Her garlands twin'd with Olive, Oake, and Bayes, Thy triumphs finish shall all old debates; Thus Heavens decree, so have ordain'd the Fates. WEalth, Wisedome, Glory, Pleasure, stoutest hearts, Religion, Lawes, Hyperion imparts To thy just Raigne, which shall farre farre surpasse, Of Emperours, Kings, the best that ever was; Looke how hee dims the starres; thy glories rayes, So darken shall the lustre of these dayes: For in faire vertues Zodiacke thou shalt runne, And in the heaven of worthies be the Sunne. No more contemn'd shall haplesse Learning lie; The maids of Pindus shall be raysed high; For Bay and Ivie which their browes enroll'd, Thou shalt them decke with gems and shining gold; Thou open shalt Parnassus Cristall gates, Thus heavens ordaine, so doe decree the Fates. THe Alcidanian Queene amidst the Bayes Shall twine her mirtles, grant thee pleasant dayes; She did make cleare thy house, and with her light Of churelesse starres, put backe the dismall spight, Thy Hymenean bed faire brood shall grace, Which on the earth continue shall their race, While Floras treasure shall the Meads endeare, While sweete Pomona Rose-cheekt fruits shall beare, While Phaebes beames her brothers emulates: Thus Heavens decree, so haue ordain'd the Fates.
