These verses appeared with Churchill's name to them in the London <br />Magazine for , and there is no reason to doubt their being <br />genuine. <br /> <br />When Pope to Satire gave its lawful way, <br />And made the Nimrods of Mankind his prey; <br />When haughty Windsor heard through every wood <br />Their shame, who durst be great, yet not be good; <br />Who, drunk with power, and with ambition blind, <br />Slaves to themselves, and monsters to mankind, <br />Sinking the man, to magnify the prince, <br />Were heretofore, what Stuarts have been since: <br />Could he have look'd into the womb of Time, <br />How might his spirit in prophetic rhyme, <br />Inspired by virtue, and for freedom bold, <br />Matters of different import have foretold! <br />How might his Muse, if any Muse's tongue <br />Could equal such an argument, have sung <br />One William, who makes all mankind his care, <br />And shines the saviour of his country there! <br />One William, who to every heart gives law; <br />The son of George, the image of Nassau!<br /><br />Charles Churchill<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lines-written-in-windsor-park/
