England's VOTE FOR A FREE ELECTION OF A Free Parliament.  

GReat God of Nations, and their Right,  
By whose high Auspice Britain stands  
So long, though first 'twas built on Sands;  
And oft had sunk but for thy might.   

In her own Mainland-storms and Seas:  
Be present to her now as then,  
And let not proud and factious men  
Oppose thy Will with what they please.   

Our Free full Senate's to be made;  
O, put it in the public voice  
To make a legal worthy choice:  
Excluding such as would invade   

The commonwealth. Let whom we name  
Have wisdom, Foresight, Fortitude,  
Be more with Faith, than Face endued;  
And sturdy Conscience above Fame.   

Such, as not seek to get the Start  
In State, by Faction, Power, or Bribes,  
Ambitions Bawds: But move the Tribes  
By virtue, Modesty, Desert.   

Such, as to Justice will adhere,  
Whatever great one it offend;  
And from the embraced Truth not bend  
For Envy, Hatred, Gifts or Fear.   

That by their Deeds will make it known,  
Whose Dignity they do sustain;  
And Life, State, Glory, all they gain,  
Count it Great Britains, not their own.   

Such the old Brutis, Decii were,  
The Cippi, Curtij, who did give  
Themselves for Rome: and would not live,  
As men, good only for a year.   

Such were the great Camilli too;  
The Fabii, Scipio's; that still thought  
No work at price enough was bought,  
That for their Country they could do:   

And to her honour so did knit,  
As all their Acts were understood  
The Sinews of the public Good,  
And they themselves one Soul with it.   

These men were truly Magistrates;  
These neither practised Force, nor Forms,  
Nor did they leave the Helm in Storms;  
And such they are make happy States.   
FINIS.
