And o’er what happier Act can Man preside?

Place! Persons! Action! All engage the Mind,

And all the Heart with glad Emotions fill;

Where shall I Language for my Subject find;

Where glowing Thoughts, apt Words and curious Skill?

Oh[, that] the humble Verse could match th’ inspiring Will!

Great Lady! Fair as great, and good as fair, 20

Receive a People’s Praise, their Love, their Prayer;

Blest Parent to thy Granby, born to Shine

An Honour to thy Rutland’s House and thine!
