The Sovereign’s Power respect, nor less the Guarding Laws.
Fresh as the Showers of Eden and as fair,
Thy lovely Daughters wake a Father’s Pride.
Great were such gifts; and, if thou wish’d an Heir,
It was with Hope that still on Heaven relied—
Thankful if blest, and patient if denied.
Vast the Reward; for thee thy Granby lives, 90
And noble Promise of the future gives;
Strength, Health and Beauty in his Form combine,
And all the Grace that grows with ripening years;
