Wish for the Kings Safety, in the Summers Expedition of 1692
From Miscellanies in Verse and Prose (1693)
YE Pow'rs who watch o're sublunary Things,
Ye guardian Pow'rs of Empires and of Kings,
Angels and Genii of Empyreal kind,
Who Christendom so near destruction find,
Each trembling for the Crown to his high charge assign'd;
Now leave your Posts, to WILLIAM all repair,
Him guard alone, guard him with all your Care,
Whilst He by your Protection stands secure,
His Conduct and His Brav'ry will the Christian World ensure.
