Serenissimi Principis Gulielmi Tertii Symbolum Actionum, Victoriarum, Heroicarumque effatum, in Carmina succedanca, Per Hiberniam, nec non Germaniam Inferiorem, gestarum.  

WIllielmus sic ora gerit; mera gloria secli!  
Cui tot mentis opes invidet ipsa Themis.  
Heroum palmare decus, quem praepete curru,  
Sublimem coeli, fama per astra vehit.  
Caetera miramur! vix ausi dicere quae sit  
In regem pietas, religio inque Deum.    

ΕΛΕΟΘΡΙΑΜΒΟΣ: BEING ENGLAND's Triumphs, etc.  

I.  
BRave Albion, now take up thy Golden Lyre;  
So shall the Sacred Nine thy Verse inspire  
While on each Shore the Universe shall ring  
The lasting Triumphs of Great Britain's King!  
Behold a Ray from Heaven breaks in,  
To usher the bright Chorus of that 
a A Golden Age.  happy time,  
Which Ages past, do so lament and say,  
Time ne'er before, or since, dawn'd such a 
b 〈…〉 before Christ, 〈…〉 was ●ne Golden Age, so much 〈…〉  Day!  
Till Britain's Great NASSAW ascends the Throne;  
Such glitt'rring Suns ne'er gilded her Horizon!  
He who in noblest Dangers understood  
To gain our Liberties through Blood,  
Pursued the 
c  Means, as proper to his Skill,  
As soon th'exhausted Arteries could fill;  
And with his Royal Hand has broached the Vein  
That Mitigation gave to Europe's Pain:  
And will a Series of health procure,  
As Bleedings vast are stopped by clotted Gore:  
So ancient Kings and Emperors have been  
Enured to ways of Medicine,  
Till they their Politics refined thereby,  
With Lenitives and Cordials high  
Their Subjects have maintained in truest Liberty.   

II.  
What should we have said? What would we not of done  
In some years past, to have quit the Nation  
Of blackest Tempests drawing on,  
Big with Designs and Desolation?  
Had not the brave Augustus; him I mean,  
That humane Deity we call Supreme,  
Displayed His Conquering Banners o'er this Isle.  
W'had felt a sad Exile  
Of Liberty; and all that's just and good  
Had then been sacrificed to Gods of Wood,  
And Sense, and Reason to a croaking Brood.  
When Egypt's Tyrant had Heaven's Ire provoked.  
And Frogs and Lice about his Palace croaked  
Sure nothing noisomer was then,  
Or plagued his haughty Mind like that,  
When upon force he begged a milder Fate  
So very often of the Men,  
Who sent their Plagues again,  
And let that ru●●l'd Hector see,  
'twas Heaven's Will to make the Nations free.  
Such Godlike Awe has England's Sceptre swayed,  
While Prodigies her Royal Standards prop;  
In Myriad of happy Days we hope,  
While Heaven's praised, and its Vicegerent's well obeyed.

Why such Repining then? Why so unjust

g A grand Query among the learned Theologists where those ten Jewish Tribe, (who for their grumbling, etc. were captived by Salmanasser King of Ass●ria, and carried into the Regions of Media on the North, or North-East side of the Caspian Sea) might remain: are, by the learned Enquiry of the present Age, found out in the Cities of Tartary, whose People are the Posterity of the ten lost Tribes, according to Dr. Geo. Flet●●●● his Tractate called 〈◊〉 Redux, published by the judicious and learned Samuel Lee, Ann. 1677.  Seekers in the World's wide round,  
Here fix your Thoughts and Feet on England's Ground  
Suffer your minds no more to be perplexed,  
While here the long lost Tribes  
Stand grumbling by your sides,  
For all whose Benefits, as saith the Text,  
Ever with Murmur Heaven stormed, as oft Jehovah vext●   

IU.  
Behold an Hero girt with noble Ire,  
Braving the Poniard, so the loudest Fire;  
From place to place, posting his weighty Charge,  
Regardless of his own, with Soul so large,  
As ever filled a Monarch's Breast.  
Europe's great Atlas, on whose Shoulders rest  
The tottering Diadems of Sacred Power,  
Which only England's Monarch can restore.  
Without the Rhetoric of a Father's

(In Heaven's name) leads the forlorn Hope;  
And in a Brave and Generous Disdain  
Fires all his Dangers back again.

Who once the Darling Tribes through Crystal Walls  
Had led, and Prophets three through Flames: he calls

To Namur's Walls; all haste without delay,  
The broad N●ssavean Banners to display.

Hail to the Prince before whose gracious Throne.  
Clusters of Sceptres daily come,  
And all their Royal Tributes pay,  
Where true magnetic Graces ever live and stay,  
As Suppliants to so divine a Ray!  
Here they their Diamond Cusps immerse,  
And wretched Tyranny disperse.

Still makes his martial Deeds the more august:

You lent an Ear to Europe's Groan  
When none beside its Cause dare own  
A Sacred Stem You slipped from off Your Throne.  
Gracious it proved, Luxuriant and Green,  
And as the Prophets Gored, a goodly Screen  
Unto the Nation's Laws, their Liberty,  
Their Lives, their Children, Religion  
All sheltered from Oppression!  
And also gave so great Renown to Thee,  
As fixed the Universal Monarchy  
Unto the fertile Root, from whence it sprang,  
As great Effects on Causes terminate and hang.   

VII.  
Listen no more unto the Tales of Fame  
Of Caesar or of mighty Pompey's Name;  
Or the great King of Macedon; those Scenes  
Were to these Ends as nobler Means:  
The Means of Peace, and fuller Glory,  
Than Time e'er placed in Greek or Roman Story.  
But what if Hebrew Rabbis talk of sage  
Moses and Joshua, famous in their Age:  
Yet these the Shades, not Substance might presage,  
And seemed with Verities to jest,  
While they held earthy things in Quest;  
The Heaven spired Zeal, that filled our Hero's Breast,  
Bids him look high, since his Commission bears

Strengthens his Heart, and bids his Sword not spare  
A traitorous Crew; but let 'em feel and see,  
(So treacherous to Heaven and Thee)  
That the All Conquering Banners thou dost bear,  
Shall Victims make, till they to Heaven rear  
(In Concert with Thy Labours and just Throne)  
Thy Great Allies, where Joy and Interest meet in One.    

THE ANAGRAM Drawn from the ROYAL TITLES, Viz. William the Third, KING OF England, Scotland, France and Ireland.  

I, the Delight of Mankind,  
I, can call redress of the Land tangled in War.   

So some more Orient Gem, in Casket close immured,  
Is no more safe from harm, than fatally secured;  
As once th' Illustrious Titles with thy mighty Name  
Suffered Eclipse in the dark Shades of written Fame,  
Till Royal Acts untangled their strict Anagram.
