262 Somervile's [third 



The royal happy pair. Great in themfelves, 



They fmile fuperior ; of external fhow 



Regard iefs, while their inbred virtues give 



A liiftre to their pow'r, and grace their court 



With real fplendours, far above the pomp 



Of eaftern kings in all their tinfel pride. 



Like troops of Amazons, the female band 



Prance round their cars, not in refulgent arms 



Asthofe of old; unfkill'd to wield the fwordj 



Or bend the bow, thefe kill with fureraim. 



The royal offspring, faireft of the fair. 



Lead on the fplendid train; Anna, more bright 



Than fummer funs, or as the lightning keen. 



With irrefiftible effulgence arm'd, 



Fires ev'ry heart. He muft be more than man. 



Who unconcern'd can bear the piercing ray. 



Amelia, milder than the blulhing dawn. 



With fweec engaging air, but equal pow'r, 



Infenfibly fubdues, and in foft chains 



Her willing captives leads. Illuftrious maids. 



Ever triumphant ! whofe vidtorious charms. 



Without the needlefs aid of high defcent. 



Had aw'd mankind, and taught the world's great lords 



To bow and fue for grace. But who is he, 



Frefh as a rofe-bud newly blown, and fair 



As op'ning liliies, on whom ev'ry eye 



With joy and admiration dwells? See! fee! 



^e reins his docile barb with manly grace, 



Ts it Adonis for the chace array'd ?
