Ad Regem.
To fix the laws, and limits of these colonies;
My humble muse to Royal George! now Flyes,
Live. Mighty King! all Protestants the pray;
This new world too, under your feet I lay:
May Peace and plenty, in your Kingdoms! Triumph round;
To increase your grandeur! yet more worlds be found;
And to your glories! Let there be no bound.
At Boston in America, the First of August: Spoken extempore
by John Winthrop Esq; before his honour the Lieut.
Governour, and in the presence of divers gentlemen & ladies,
and several of the clergy: being the happy accession of his
sacred Royal Majesty King George to the imperial throne of
Great Britain.
