So kindly answering my desire;
That grace with which you look and speak and move,
That thus has set my soul on fire.
The following song, according to Horace Walpole, was written immediately after the Battle of Fontenoy, and was addressed to Lady Catherine Hanmer, Lady Falconberg, and Lady Middlesex, who were to act the three goddesses with Frederick, Prince of Wales, in Congreve’s mask “The Judgment of Paris,” whom he was to represent, and Prince Lobkowitz, Mercury.
SONG.
By Frederick, Prince of Wales.

Venez, mes chères Dèesses,

Aidez, mes belles Princesses
