ON THE Prince's going to England, WITH AN ARMY, Tsuccurrere Soeclo Ne prohibete.o Restore the Government.
Hunc saltem everso Juvenem succurrere Saeclo
Ne prohibete—
Virg. Georg. Lib. I.
ONce more a
FATHER and a
SON falls out,
The World involving in their high Dispute:
Remotest
India's
Fate on
theirs depends,
And
Europe, trembling, the Event attends.
Their Motions ruling every other State,
As on the Sun's the lesser Planets wait.
Power warms the Father,
Liberty the Son,
A Prize, well worth th' uncommon Venture run:
Him a false Pride to Govern unrestrain'd,
And by bad Means, bad Ends to be attain'd;
All Bars of Property drives headlong through,
Millions oppressing to Inrich a few.
Him Justice urges, and a Noble Aim
To equal his Progenitors in Fame,
And make his Life as Glorious as his Name.
For Law and Reason's Power he does engage,
Against the Reign of Appetite and Rage.
There all the License of unbounded Might:
Here conscious Honour, and deep sence of Right,
Immortal Enmity to Arms incite.
Greatness the one, Glory the other Fires,
This only can deserve what that desires.
This strives for all that e're to men was dear,
And he for what they most abhor and fear.
Caesar and
Pompey's Cause by
Cato thought
So ill adjudg'd, to a new Tryal's brought,
Again at last
Pharsalia must be fought.
Ye fatal Sisters! now to
Right be Friends,
And make Mankind for
Pompey's Fate amends.
In
Orange's Great Line, 'tis no new thing,
To Free a Nation, and Uncrown a King.
