On a Lady's Arrival from Holland.
ALL things move forward, with a prosp'rous Breeze,And none but gentle Zphyrs swell the Seas,Whilst the proud Ship its pompous load conveys.Holland, with Grief, surrenders up the Fair,And we, with Pride and Joy, receive Her here;While in one bottom, they resign their store,And by enriching us, themselves grow poor:Much to those generous Provinces we owe,For Heroes much, but more for Beaut•• now.Abroad your Warriours conquer with their Arms,And here alike, you conquer with your Charms;While hourly in your crowded ways you meetThe Youth of Britain bleeding at your Feet.
descriptionPage 23
In War the vanquish'd Foes for Mercy sue,And we bow down for pity here to you:Alike in Pow'r, you Life or Death afford,The conqu'ring Beauty, or the conqu'ring Sword.
