To Mr Granville (Now Lord Lansdowne), on His Verses to King James II.
From Poetical Works (Gilfillan, 1857)

An early plant! which such a blossom bears,
And shows a genius so beyond his years;
A judgment! that could make so fair a choice;
So high a subject to employ his voice;
Still as it grows, how sweetly will he sing
The growing greatness of our matchless king!
