Her Majesty this Mandate sends,

‘That Virtue now and Love be Friends,

That Beaux and Belles should cease to roam,

And every heart should find a Home;

That their joint labours they bestow

To make more business for my bow.

That Men mayn’t fail by lewd Transgression

But grow immortal by Succession.’
