All ! quoties memori revocantes pectore, Regem 

 Sublatnm quserent Britones, luctuque recent! 

 Tarn cari capitis quoties jactura reciirret, 

 Dum redit in mentetn veri pia cura Parentis, 

 Sancti juris amor, mitissima gratia sceptri, 

 Et blandi mores, atque artes mille benigni 

 Imperii ? — At non sola dedit pax a urea laudem ; 

 Nee minus emicuit memorabile nomen in armis, 

 Per mare, per terras, quacunque sub auspice tanto 

 Anglia victrices turmas metuenda per orbem 

 Miserit, extremasque Indi tremefecerit oras, 

 Sanguineumve Crucis signum (dirum hostibus omen !) 

 Dant ventis agitare per aquora lata carinas. 



"Ah ! recalling him, how oft, with faithful hearts, will Britons sigh 

 for the King of whom they have heen bereft : how oft with fresh grief 

 will the loss of so dear a one come back, whilst to their minds recur his 

 true paternal solicitude, his love of the sacred right; the gentle graci- 

 ousness of his sway, his condescending manner, his countless modes of 

 exercising a benignant rule ! Yet not alone did golden peace win him 

 renown : not less did his name shine forth conspicuous for deeds of 

 arms, by sea and land; wherever, under guardianship so august, 

 England, feared throughout the world, hath sent forth her victorious 

 bands, and made tremble the remote shores of the Indus; wherever 

 her ships unfold to the winds on the broad sea, the blood-red cross, to 

 foemen, presage of woe ! '^ 



A fellow-commoner of Trinity, John Cussans, contributed some 

 Alcaics ; and therein he imagines the shade of George II. in Hades 

 meeting the shades of his son Frederick and of his own Queen Caro- 

 line. The substance of their talk, which is about affairs in the upper 

 regions, is briefly given. Whilst they converse, the ghost of Wolfe 

 joins them for a moment. It will be remembered that Greorge III. was 

 not the son, but the grandson of George II. : 



Prolis frequentes ut juvat invicem 

 Audire plausus ! Ut, patri£e memor, 



Uterque victrices Britannum 

 Assidua bibit aure laudes ! 

 Nee longum ; et altis gressibus TVolfius, 

 Visa corona, se socium inserit ; 



Belli tumultus usitatos 



Victor adhuc meditatur Heros : 

 Fractoque postquam milite Galliam 

 Suetis fugatam cedere fiuibus
