IV.
Now Janus with a future View
The Glories of Her reign ſurvey,
Which ſhall or'e France Her Arms diſplay,
And Kingdoms now Her own fubdue.
Lewis for oppreſſron born,
Lewis in his turn ſhall mourns,
While his conquer'd haappy Swains
Shall hug their eaſy whſh'd for chains.
Others enſlave by Victory,
Their Subjects as their Foes oppreſs;
ANNA conquers but to free,
And governs but to bleſs.
