Chorus
Great Janus tho the Festival be thine
Permit yt wee Prime honours yet asigne
& a ust Tribute of our Praises bring not to thy selfe
But to great Brittain’s King
RITOR
Verse
Since like the Great Augustus heretofore
He has publist peace and shut thy Temple Door
Thus once befor by heaven Design’d
To SAGE?? peace to Three Realms his Restoration gave
Chorus twice
But since more Great and Universall grown
He’s giv’n the world what First gave his owne
And Fame proclaims aloud where er’e she does
That Europe safety to his succour owes
RITOR
Verse
Then since peace affords us Leasure,
Plenty, property, & pleasure,
He who under providence,
Blessings does to us dispence
Cho:
Then since peace affords us Leasure,
Plenty, property, & pleasure,
He who under providence,
Blessings does to us dispence
Verse
Justly claimes yt we endeavour
Requite the gracious Giver,
Tho, our all can ne’re express
Halfe our willing thankfulness
Chorus
Chorus as before once through. The:2nd: time end thus
Then since peace affords us Leasure,
Plenty, property, & pleasure,
He who under providence,
Blessings does to us dispence
[RITOR]
Verse
While swel’d with Ambition and Boundless desires
To Empire a turbulent Monarch aspires
His force like a deluge no border could find
Till you to Restrain his feirce Torrent Inclin’d,
But as soon as your mighty Resistance he found
Tho both potent and proud he flew back to his bound
RITOR
Cho:
Thus your Lustre the Light of his Sun did outvie
And gave his Nec pluribus impar the Lye
So of old in contention tho feircly they strove
Yet the Titan’s themselves were subdu’d by a Jove.
Verse soft & slow
How will your Glory’s shine
From your attempts so brave
How should ye world combine
yt you double praise might have
Who have not been great to Hurt,
But have only been so to save
Cho
Emperors name sounds Loud,
But peacemaker is more sweet,
And to be Charls ye good
Is more honor then Charls ye Great
Verse
But to be both like you
This is alone compleat
Cho:
But to be both like you
This is alone compleat.
