Here's Briton's Magna; (h) Here's the Rights o'th' Crown.
Here's Polar Stars by which a Statesman steers ;
And here's the Lares of our mitr'd Peers.
Here's Wit; (m) Here's Learning; (n) Politics are here !
Here's Titles; (p) Pensions; (q) Grants of thousands clear.
Here's curious Salve, to Plaister Britain's Wounds ;
The present War; (t) Last Peace; which all confounds !

Here's Law: (y) Here's Gospel; (z) Here's our Senate's God !
