In 31mo DecrisDecembris, 1774.
LEGITIMUM REGEM patrÿs fraus expulit oris,
Ast anguem infestum gens malè sana fovet!
Interea absenti meritos libemus honores,
Lætaque testamur gaudia LUCE TUA!
My lawful PRINCE, receive this poor Behest, }
Banish’dBanished from thine own! ^&and by Fraud opprestoppressed! }
While we a Serpent foster in our Breast. }
Meantime, let us thy rightful Honours pay,
And celebrate with Joy thy NATAL DAY.
Æquam memento rebus in arduis
Servare mentem, non secus in bonis
Ab insolenti temperatam
Lætitiâ; moriture CAR’LECAROLE. Horat.
In arduous Hours an equal Mind maintain,
Nor Let your Spirit rise too high,
Though Fortune kindly, change the Scene,
Alas! dear CHARLES, Thou wert born to die.
