But more than all, by guarding from contempt,
Or impious violation, that supreme
Protrectress of all government and law,
Religion; in whose train for ever wait
Obedience, order, justice, mercy, love,
A guard of angels plac'd around the throne.
Her sacred counsels have I still rever'd,
Her high commands enforc'd, her pow'r implor'd,
O'er all my subject nations to call down
From heav'nly wisdom, her eternal fire,
A fix'd secure felicity, beyond
The force of human prudence to attain.
