Not lifted by my genius, but my theme.

No more: for in this dread suspense of fate,

Now kingdoms fluctuate, and in dark debate

Weigh peace and war, now Europe's eyes are bent

On mighty Brunswick, for the great event,

Brunswick of kings the terror or defence!

Who dares detain thee at a world's expense?


[pg 318]
