Our morning stars! our boast in former days!

Which hovering o'er, your purple wings display,

Lur'd by the pomp of this distinguish'd day,

Stoop, and attend: by one, the knee be bound;

One, throw the mantle's crimson folds around;

By that, the sword on his proud thigh be plac'd;

This, clasp the diamond girdle round his waist;

His breast, with rays, let just Godolphin spread;

Wise Burleigh plant the plumage on his head;

And Edward own, since first he fix'd the race,
