And never stickst at the Expence,
When 'tis to shew Magnificence.
For th' Royal entertainment, that
Th'ast given unto thy Prince of late▪
The honour onely is thine owne
But what's to other Princes done,
The honour thou to them dost do,
Is both thine own and Countries too;
In that th'art but a privat man,
In this a publick person, and
Thy Country shud ungrateful be,
Shud it not always honour thee,
Who knowst so bravely how to spend
When 'tis for any noble End;
And never stickst at the expence,
When 'tis to shew Magnificence.
