When Faction rear'd her bristly head, And join'd with tyrants to destroy, Where'er you march' d the monster fled, Tim'rous her arrows to employ; Hosts catch'd from you a bolder flame, And despots trembled at your name. Ere war's dread horrors ceas'd to reign, What leader could your place supply?
In swelling verse let kings be read, And princes shine in polish'd prose; Without such aid your triumphs spread Where'er the convex ocean flows, To Indian worlds by seas embrac'd, And Tartar, tyrant of the waste. Throughout the east you gain applause, And soon the Old World , taught by you, Shall blush to own her barbarous laws, Shall learn instruction from the New : Monarchs shall hear the humble plea, Nor urge too far the proud decree.
