We grant, an o'ergrown Whig no grace can mend,

But most are babes, that know not they offend;

The crowd, to restless motion still inclined,

Are clouds, that rack according to the wind.

Driven by their chiefs, they storms of hailstones pour,

Then mourn, and soften to a silent shower.

O welcome to this much-offending land,

The prince that brings forgiveness in his hand!

Thus angels on glad messages appear,

Their first salute commands us not to fear;
