[ pantly vaunt- ‘ing in the North l&d\in the Soush, in the Eaft dnd in the Welt, the defolation of ose night br ruin and confufign in thevemer pfour vitorien.: i ‘Egemy rejoice at our tisfortones { that We, who were iin Indip, in Afrita, in Canada trinmphant, fhould be in England lorrowful apd dejected! Methinks I hear their aingeneroys tauats, 1fee the Cowards mocking at the miferies of the Braye, for fuch is the infolence of unmanly levity, that altho’ by the bleffings of Heaven, our lofs will be far from being their guin, yet will our punifth- smentgladden their malicious hearts. A punifhment in- deed ! -For who might compare with him in glory? Let the French Bosft in Logis, & Louis fhackled in the feuers of Flattery and Whoredgn ; Let Aufria, bostt a miean ungreatcful defpicable women'; or Ryffia the wenal Proftituie of each contending Power; they have ‘all foughton the principles of rapine, jealouly, sad ufur- pation ; ‘and they bave all met with the delerved con- fufion, which fuchunchriftian motives challenged. Thefe then are light in the belence, and will not weigh againit the fterling purity of Britain’s Monarch. Shall we put a1l the holinels of an infalliable Pope, all the fear and crucltyof & Portuguefe Tyrant, all the vanity and fuf- ficiency of a Spanifb Novice, the ftesdy beam will ftill preponderate. with our late royal Mafter’s virtues. And ‘no wonder that thele muft give way, when even the brave merits of Sardinia’s monarch, and the invincible intrepidity and courage of a Fredrick will not fland the ‘impartial teft. So glorious, by the favour and proteétion of Heaven, wias our late vi&orious Governor ! The portents which attended a Cee/ar’s'death were the dilmal emblems o} & tyrannousDiftator ; fesrful omens - and dejeltion of heart < but the omens which attended the deathof the beft of Kings, were all the bleffings on them. Peace, uninimity, sad tranquility, at home ; ‘abroad, refpedt, vitory, honour, énd increafing power. ‘Fle was exa ted to the higheft pitch of human glory 5 and the fighs of his lamented decline were the full en joyment of all this world cculd give them ; fo that nothing was left Riperior, bat the joys of Heaven; to which we trift, be is tranflated. - His Subjets happy, iefled with fiuitfu] feafors, and -conquering arms, & bounding in the produce of every clime, even in the midft cf a glorious, tho’-expenfive war: his ilivftrious famity complete,and fo weli beloved by every individual, that they are-entirely fecured from the evils of domeftic difturbance ; an Engliftr and a Proteftant Prince joft ripening into government, and hisenemics on every fide diftrefled and fubdued. ‘How glorious was fuch = decline in the midR of love snd conqueft, inthe midft of tranquillity and unanimity : Not all the anmals of this brave and free Country cin jproduce a Prince that éver reigned his equal cither in Clemency, Moderation,Power,or Dominien. In all his government how little rapine, violence, or confufion. No ufurpations have diminithed our liberties ; no per- petual difcordes tave divided our private peace, or torn the father from the fon, and difunited the ties and afec- tion’ of natare. ! As ‘he was not to be compared with foreign poten- tates, fo neither can the voice of trath proclaim that ever his equal fat upon the Briifh threne. But am | not indu'ging my refl:&ens on the paft too far? Should T not rather be hailing the rifing generation ! No, could any future hopes make me forget the benefits already received, my pen might then be charged with thie fickle pame ofa temporary flatterer. While the time allotted us for grief, let us indulge it : And agocd Piince, fuch as I troft, the Grandfon of s GEORGE muft prové,will never think himfelf neglected,becanle we are willing to pay the tears of gratitude and fincerity to the pives memory of his predeceflor. The time of our mourning is thort,very fhort, for the caufle of our griefs: One year’s folemnity is but a fmall tribute to our late illuftrious monarch,of glorious memory ; a tribute which we fhall chesrfully fpare out of thofe very many future years of happinefs. in which we hope to have matter of tripmph snd rejoicing, for the long continuance of his prefent Msjeilty, among his faithful and viftorious fub- j INCERU S, jeéls.
