TO HIS MAIESTIE.
SIR,
TO wait on YOU, the Persian MIRZA'S come
From the fair shades of his El••z••um:
If all the wrongs that's Innocence opprest
Obtain one s••gh from YOUR heroick Breast,
H••'l think them 〈◊〉〈◊〉, having preferr'd Him to
••OUR Royall Know••edge; and perhaps done so
More then his Birth-right bad; for he hopes now
Not onely to del••ght, but profit YOU,
••n warning to eschew what spoild his Right,
The Flatterer, and too powerfull Favourite.
In old Time, sacred was the Po••ts Pen,
And usefull to eternize worthy men:
To Rescue Vertue from the Furies spight,
••••d lift her Palm the h••gher for the weight.

And I could wish it the next Ages Song,
Had MIRZA not die'd, He'd not liv'd so long:
His (written) Ghost looks brighter in his Ba••
Then He had in the Crown of Persia.
So shall it be: Gain from His Losse shall flow,
And Life from Death, if YOU, Great SIR, say so.
BARON.
