(Which then he wanted) to the sacred brass,
Is not th’ effect of gratitude alone,
To which we owe the statue and the stone.
But heav’n this lasting monument has wrought,
That mortals may eternally be taught
Rebellion, though successful, is but vain,
And kings so kill’d rise conquerors again:
This truth the royal image does proclaim
Loud as the trumpet of surviving Fame.
HIS FAVOURITE DESIGN.
