Upon the Tenth of June, 1747.[180]

Let universal mirth now rear its head,

And joy, exulting, o'er the nation spread.

Let all this day forget each anxious fear,

And cease to mourn the ills which Britons bear—

This day, which once auspicious to our Isle,

Did all its long expecting hopes fulfil,

Gave to the world Great Britain's glorious heir,
