Accept our penitence, and let us see

Our monarch glorious and our country free.


SOLILOQUY, September 29th, 1746.

29 Sept. 1746

This prop and that successively decays.[fol. 400.]

Strokes thicken; each alarm my heart dismays,

Widow'd of ev'ry earthly flatt'ring joy.

Sorrows on sorrows roll without alloy.
