warlike train!
Who hunger, cold and toil sustain
With brave unyielding mind!
To you proud Austria shall submit,
And LOUIS lovingly shall greet
The _Prussian_ as his friend.

VII.

In characters of purest gold
Thy speech deserves to be enroll'd,
Before the battle made;
Each Soldier stil'd great FRED'RICK'S friend,
Who can his country's rights defend
When her fierce foes invade.

VIII.

Who would, in battle lag behind,
That serves a prince so great, so kind,
In every danger near?
When monarchs' lives are laid at stake,
What subject would his king forsake?
What room is left for fear?

IX.

Europe on thee has fix'd her eye,
Great monarch! All on thee rely
Her balance just to keep.
May this great end thy labours crown,
Be sempiternal thy renown,
When thou in dust shall sleep.

The same worthy motives that induced the author to send us the
following poem, will induce us to give it place this month, altho we
are already crowded with materials. We think it our duty, as _Britons_
and _Protestants_, to take every opportunity of celebrating such an
illustrious hero as the King of _Prussia_; and, however unequal the
strains may be thought, yet if they contribute ever so little to raise
an imitation of his noble and almost divine atchievments, in the cause
of _Religion_ and _Liberty_, our end will be fully answered.

ON THE GLORIOUS VICTORY OBTAINED BY
THE HEROICK KING OF PRUSSIA OVER THE
IMPERIAL ARMY NEAR NEWMARK IN
SILESIA THE 5TH DECEMBER 1757.

I.

My muse! again attempt the lyre;
Rouse! rouse! thy whole poetic fire!
Great FREDRICK'S deeds do still require
More ample praise.
Let his great acts the verse inspire,
And tuneful be thy lays.

II.

Illustrious HANNIBAL of old,
CAESAR the brave and SCIPIO bold,
For battles won stand high enroll'd
In hist'ry's page!
Let Fred'rick's name with theirs be told,
The HERO of his age!

III.

_Rosbach!_ thy plain the VICTOR owns!
'Twas fill'd with shrieks and dying groans,
And
