PROSPECT 


OF THE 


NAVY ROYAL. 


WH! L, in pleaſing Melancholly fat, 
Reflecting on this Iflands happy ſtate ; 
When, from the topofan aſpiring Tower, - 
I view'dat once, it's Beauty and it's Power ; 
Pleas'd to hold how ſafe we arefrom harm,” 
Embrac'd by Thetis kind, and-Claſping arm 1 
Bleft Ifle fad, and full of Natures Pride, 
So Beautiful and ſo well Fortift d; 
At lft my Unreſtrained Senſes ſtrove 
Farther, than Nature gave them ſtrength, to-rove : | 
My eyes a laviſh freedom I allow'd, _— 
Which nothing cou'd confine, but Sea, or Cloud, | 
Uneil, at length, where Skees, and Vaters met; 
W here theſe did ſeem to Ky/e, and thoſe to Set . 
Actfirſta Leafeleſs Y'/ood began to appear, 
But ſtrait it Vndecerv'd me; and drew near ; 
So that my wonder Ceaſ't, as it Begun, | 
And my Slow T houghts were, by my Sight, Out-rmn, 
Which ſoon preſented to me ſuch a Fleet, 
few Nations ever Saw;and: None dare Meet, 

Az A 


(4) 
A hundred Moving Caſtles floating cams, * | 
That ſeem'd the Winds to Calm, and Seas to Tame; 
Each Swelling Sail the baffled ſtorm Owut-braves, 
And makes the Ships look Prouder than the Y/aves : 
Now the Enlarged Oak , whoſe Fettered For, 
Had many years , been Priſoner to it's Root, 
| Gratefully brings new Tributes, tothat Earth, 
Which gave it both it's Liberty, and Berth , 
Toyfulin ſtorms, remembring that it knew 
Aore Danger, in Leſs T empeſts, while it Grew: 
And thanks the Axe, that lia commut that Rape, 
To Cut it Down, and Give't a Nobler ſhape. 
Theſeare the «Arks, that ſave us from the Flood, 
W hich elſe might Overwhelm our Land with Blood : 


Theſc e Guard aur Prazce from Villames Fatal Stroke, 
Andevery Man of //ar's a ROYAL OAKE. : 


The Grecian Horſe, although it's womb contain'd 
Heroick ſofils, whoſe courage was unſtain'd, 
Might long before the Tran Walls have ftay'd, 
Had not the Enemy T hemſelves betray'd : 

They firſt their own deſtruction did begin, 

And Made a way, to Let their Rune im : 

But theſe Sea-Horſes, by the Engliſh back, 

Do Truths, beyond thoſe Grecian Fables act : 

Our Moving Forts, with eaſe, themſelves Tranſplant : 
Proving the Caftle, and the Elephant. 

We makea way to be Victorious, where - 


Baſe Fraud did never in our glory ſhare :
