         Her MAJESTIES

                  WELCOME TO

            St. Paul's CATHEDRAL.

                        A POEM.

O Glorious Show ! See England's Queen appears,
Attended by a Grateful Train of Peers,
In God's own Hou?e to pay their thankful Pray'rs

Welcome as Vict'ry, to a Generals' Ear,
Welcome as Peace to States, brought low by War,
Welcome to us, as to the Church your Care.

Let others Flu?h't with Conquer'd ?poils Provoke,
By ba?e neglect, that God who gave the Stroke,
And the Oppre?fors force, a?under broke.

Whil?t you, Great Anna, thankfully repair
(Your Per?on Arm'd with Guards, Your heart with Pray'r,
For a Succe?sful ju?t and Glorious War.)

To London's Fam'd Cathedral, there to Pay
A Pious Tribute, for that Glorious day,
Wherein your Foes in Blood all weltring lay.

Crouding Spectators veiw the plea?ing ?how,
The City Bands attend you here below,
Whil?t hovering Angels guard them as you go.

Lewis no more ?hall Fright us with Alarms,
No more annoy our Coa?ts with glittering Arms,
Since Anna's Pray'rs avert intended Harms.

And may Kind Heaven ble?s Your I?le with Peace,
As it has Crown'd Your Army with Succe?s,
When Malborough Fights we may Expect no le?s.
