Part must be left, a Fund when Foes invade; And Part employ'd to roll the Watry Trade; Ev'n Canaan's happy Land, when worn with Toil, Requir'd a Sabbath-Year, to mend the meagre Soil. Good senators, (and such are you,) so give, That Kings may be supply'd, the People thrive; And He, when Want requires, is truly Wise, Who slights not Foreign Aids nor overbuys; But, on our Native Strength, in time of need, relies. Munster was bought, we boast not the Success; 140 Who fights for Gai, for greater, makes his Peace. Our Foes, compell'd by Need have Peace embrac❜d: The Peace both Parties want, is like to last: Which, if secure, securely we may trade; Ev'n Victors are by Victories undone ; Thus Hannibal, with Foreign Laurels won, To Carthage was recall'd, too late to keep his own. While sore of Battel, while our Wounds are green, Why shou'd we tempt the doubtful Dye agen? In Wars renew'd, uncertain of success, Prerogative, and Privilege preserves: One must not ebb, nor t' other overflow: Betwixt the Prince and Parliament we stand; The Barriers of the State on either Hand: May neither overflow, for then they drown the Land. When both are full, they feed our bless'd Abode ; Like those, that water'd once, the Paradise of God. Some Overpoise of Sway, by Turns they share ; 180 The Sea is ours, and that defends the In Peace the People, and the Prince in War : Be, then, the Naval Stores the Nations Care, New Ships to build, and batter'd to repair. Observe the War in ev'ry Annual Course; What has been done, was done with British Force. 151 When the Gauls came, one sole Dictator sway'd. Patriots, in Peace, assert the Peoples Right, With noble Stubbornness resisting Might: No Lawless Mandates from the Court receive, Nor lend by Force; but in a Body give. Such was your gen'rous Grandsire; free to grant In Parliaments, that weigh'd their Prince's But so tenacious of the Common Cause, 190 Vouchsafe this Picture of thy Soul to see; 199 135 are] Editors till Christie wrongly gave as Which, when I miss, my own Defects I show. 9 Make us more Learned, only to depart?
