Kings who, so often vanquish'd, vainly dare Menace the victor that has laid you low Look now at France and view your own despair In the majestic splendour of your foe. What miserable pride, ye foolish kings, Still your deluded reason thus misleads? Provoke the storm the bolt with lightning wings Shall fall but fall on your devoted heads.
You have vanquish'd all your Rivals. Oh who can imagine your joy! What you think, or what you do, still your thoughts glance upon your happiness! your Mistriss now will be willing; denials are laid aside: only ther's a little shame and fear, which canot of a sudden be so totally forgotten, because the marriage is not yet concluded.
O war! what art thou? At once the proof and scourge of man's fall'n state! After the brightest conquest, what appears Of all thy glories? for the vanquish'd, chains! For the proud victors, what? Alas! to reign O'er desolated nations. H. More. While Cæsar was thus employed, Pompey was active in making preparations in Epi'rus and Greece to oppose him. 2.

Would thou hadst beauty less or strength more high, That more of fear, and less of love might show, He who now blasts him in thy beauty's glow, Or woos thee with a zeal that makes thee die; Then down from Alp no more would torrents rage Of armed men, nor Gallic coursers hot In Po's ensanguin'd tide their thirst assuage; Nor girt with iron, not thine own, I wot, Wouldst thou the fight by hands of strangers wage Victress or vanquish'd slavery still thy lot."

'Tis she, that lovely Hair, that easy Shape, those wanton Eyes, and all those melting Charms about her Mouth, which Medley spoke of; I'll follow the Lottery, and put in for a Prize with my Friend Bellair. In Love the Victors from the Vanquish'd fly; They fly that wound, and they pursue that dye, Then turning over the Leaves, she reads alternately, and speaks,
