with Blood See how she bounds upon the Seas Behold how wantonly she plays The Gardian Knot NASSAW has broke Which was enslav'd Britannia's Yoke See how she dances on the Main See the triumphant Ocean's Pride Mark how the swelling Surges ride Behold the joyful Billows dance again And with Excess of Joy grown vain Beyond the Pow'r of Tempests raise their Tide From the Strong-hold which sunk her upwards hurld Britannia now is freed and may invade the World XXX The Sun itself opprest with cloudy Night Beneath the Floods secures his Light Britannia so beneath her Oceans lay But when she rises all the World has Day A while the jarring Waves engag'd A while in thund'ring Storms they rag'd And gath'ring Skies a fatal Wreck presag'd The dreadful Seas were heard to roar Tossing the angry Froth they bore And their own Ecchoes answer'd on the shore With threat'ning Brows and furious Pow'rs Each at the other proudly tow'rs But long they urge not on the Race Till calm with their own Fury grown Their flowing Amity is closer shown They run and meet and mingle and embrace The Seas long tost by Storms and thund'ring Skies Now from the Foam behold this Venus Isle arise XXXI NASSAW'S almighty Pow'r next God's we view He the old World reforms Dispels the Clouds and lays the Storms And only God himself can frame a new As when the rugged Chaos lay Deep hush'd in Silence her dark pregnant Womb Grown big with the great Birth to come Roll'd with a heavy Slowness on Pangs from the fighting Atoms does she bear Till the great God of Light commanded Day Then do the mighty Offsprings rise And to their Spheres they swiftly run The Globe with its own Weight hangs pois'd amidst the Skies And soon she views with a maternal Care Her Elemental Twins Earth Water Fire and Air. To its bright Orb the Sun is upwards hurl'd And with an Infant Smile shines on the neighb'ring World XXXII So gloomy Europe brooding War The seeds of Discord riper grown A long long time aloud they jar Till God-like NASSAW'S Pow'r was known At his dread Word the Work is done Their anxious Strife creates their Peace Their Disagreements quickly cease And all the several Orbs harmoniously move on Smiling Britannia chasing cloudy Night Round the united Globe dispenses beamy Light NASSAW like God a World of Peace commands He speaks the Word Now let it be 'T is done this World of Peace we see Displaying him who form'd it blest it stands Rais'd by its Maker's Breath and fashion'd by his Hands XXXIII Now may glad Halcyons build on Albion's Main And pleas'd Astraea visit Earth again Now may the Boyne its Shores embrace Late dy'd with Blood of Heroes slain It s harrass'd Waves shall now have Peace Now may it flow with Crystal streams Gentle as those of Silver Thames And sacred Poets on its Banks may be inspir'd in Dreams Those Banks where glorious NASSAW stood When viewing with Disdain the Terrors of the Flood He look'd and fought and conquer'd like a God XXXIV Dreadfully loud from shore to shore The frighted Billows join to help the Cannons roar Souldiers and Chiefs renown'd expire By Waters some and some by the destructive Fire Behold where conqu'ring NASSAW wades Behold how gloriously he leads In vain the River ebbs in vain It rolls its Current to the Main To yield him passage as he treads With purple Torrents strait it swells again NASSAW illustriously great Pursues his Foes and drives before him Fate See the already alter'd Flood View the red Waves the Waves grow red with Blood Our Hero more than Israel's Chief performs Like him he safely makes his Way Thro' the destroying Surges of the Sea And faces Thunder and encounters Storms With his commanding Sword instead of Rod He triumphs still secur'd by Israel's pow'rful God XXXV The leading Prophet at his People's head Before the Host of cruel Pharaoh fled On heaps the wond'ring Billows stood While guarded Israel pass'd beneath Secur'd ev'n by the Terrors of the Flood And sav'd amidst the gaping Jaws of Death Bulwarks of Waves the trembling People view The barb'rous Foe outragious does pursue And now the frighted Waters tremble too Now Pharaoh's Hosts within the Floods appear And the Red Sea grows pale with Fear But soon the conscious Billows tumbling ore With their strong Torrent down his swallow'd Army bore Just like the Waves which their curst Force controul'd The tott'ring Souldiers ore each other roul'd Sunk in the Gulph they roar at Heav'n in vain And as it join'd the big insulting Deluge roar'd again XXXVI But NASSAW flies not from his Foes What Mortals dare should NASSAW fly pursue In Waves he marches with his Armies on The Waters part not but he leads them through Here undivided Heaps of tow'ring Seas Make not more easie but obstruct his ways Securely bold where'er he goes By his own Providence the Work is done Sav'd by no God like Wonders but his own The Souldiers much and much the Waters bore Press'd with a pond'rous Load of Fate they roar The worsted Foe like them with storms opprest Heave up their troubled panting Breast Aloud their Cries resound from shore to shore O'erwhelm'd by NASSAW'S conqu'ring Squadrons more Than they themselves were with the Seas before XXXVII Behold the Waters painted gay with Blood Behold the great NASSAW appear Like Alexander in the Grannick Flood Behold the rapid boist'rous Streams While Britain's Chief fierce Bolts does bear The Billows seem to flash out Flames By Waves of Seas are Squadrons hurld And Waves of Smoak rowl o'er the Surges curl'd Slaughter o'er Head all terrible appears Poison and Famine Sword and Fire she bears With dire and deadly gaping Jaws With sulph'rous Breath and Blood-shot Eyes Those Mischiefs at her Throat she draws First swallows them and then does roar She hungers and she thirsts for more Flapping her stubborn Iron Wings she flies Grinning all horribly in Tears Glaring in Faces of the fall'n and shrieking in their Ears XXXVIII Darkness and gloomy Horrour all confound Ten thousand Fates on Billows brooding sit By several Deaths the Souldiers fall And wild Confusion covers all Like the Sea's God great NASSAW rides And bears before him rolling Tides The very Waves in Bulwarks shield That God-like Hero in the watry Field No angry Bullet can the Conqu'rour hit And ev'n by Danger he 's secur'd from Wound Swift tow'rds his Foes the hard urg'd Waves are gone And he the stronger Torrent now comes rolling on XXXIX Rushing apace his Army pours Fierce as the Waves which wash the shores He like the tenth great Billow rais'd appears And all before him down he bears Firm as a Rock amidst the Waves he stands Unmov'd with Tempests and the Noise Of the loud Ocean's dreadful Voice Dashing insulting Billows back upon the Lands Like gloomy Skies behold the darken'd Flood Behold great NASSAW like the ruling God Hear Trumpets Clangors all the loud Alarms See where the glorious Leader goes Behold NASSAW
