ON THE ARRIVAL OF Prince WILLIAM HENRY.
See rapture beam from every eye,
While round the Royal Youth they pour!
And hark! the universal cry.
"Welcome to this Western shore."
Hail! lovely Prince, in whom we trace
The virtues of thy Royal race;
Thy Mother's softer charms in thee we find,
Thy Father's steady truth, and firm undaunted mind.
