ALBION's Speech . WHilst Nassaus Trump shall t' endless Ages blow , Far as the Boyne , or Shannons Waters flow : Third Edward and Fifth Henry's deathless name , All centring in One Consummating Fame ; Bear up , fair Albion , thy exalted Pride , Rise high my Monumental Pyramide . But whilst my Elevated thoughts I raise , All tuned to the Great WILLIAMS hallow'd Praise ; Whilst my Transported Veneration mounts To that vast Theme , and the Summ'd Mass recounts : is just , my Lord , I pay Your Equal due ; You share his Cause , and must his Honour too . Does the Arm'd Caesar drive Your Foes before You ; Yes , You , kind Patriot , Plume his Wings for Glory : Divide between you then your shared Renown , William that Wears , you that support a Crown .
The Third Pageant , the Theatre of Victory .

ON a spacious Stage is Eleborately contrived & Erected a stately Amphitheatre of the Richest Egyptian Marble , curiously wrought and adorned ; design'd and built after the Corinthian order , with Columnes and Pilasters in a Quadrangular Form , wherein are seated in four Arches , bearing each the Prospect of an Amphitheatre , Neptune and Thetis , Mars and Bellona sumptuously Drest after the manner of those Heathen Gods and Goddesses .

Neptune in a Robe of Sea-Green , fringed with Gold , a Silver Mantle , on his head a Coronet of Shells and Coral , his hair and beard Green , in his Right hand a Silver Trident , in the other a Banner of my Lords , You. And the Unanimous acknowledgements of all good Men are so sensible of a Desert so conspicuous , that their concurring best Wishes make you one United Congratulation . And that Your Lordship has so deserved , your Constant Zeal for the Honour of Your Country , is not the Business of Yesterday . Your Lordship set out an early Devote in so worthy a Cause . For Instance , several Years together in those memorable Days , when Intrigue & Designe sat high at the Helm , Your unshaken Honour and Honesty were thought so dangerous to the then State-Hammerers at the Anvil , that no less then Court-Power was pleased to rise up & wage against You , witness the several potent , Oppositions made against you and your long Exclusion from your Rightful Entrance into Trust . But thanks to Providence , under the present more benign , & more auspicious Administration , a Reign where Integrity qualifies for Magistracy , & the Courtier & the Patriot are not names incompatible , your Lordships Glory of being the Fear of that Age , intitles you to the Darling of this . And our proud Metropolis receives her saluted PRAEIOR so pleased at your Inauguration , and with such promising confidence of so upright and unbiast a Ministry of Equity & Justice from your Lordship that she never entrusted her Scales and her Sword in a Worthier Hand . In which high post of Honour , I joyn but in the Universal Quire , when all Prosperity and Hoppiness to your Lordship are most heartily wisht by , My Lord ,
