A few Lines by way of Portraiture of the Prussian HERO.
CHARLES FREDERICK. Elector of Brandenburg.
King of Prussia. Scourge to Russia,
The POPE's Victor and Arch Enemy,
KING of the NORTH,
Terror to Bourbon,
The Great Battle Ax,
To break the Horns
Of Austria;
A ROD shaking over the STATES,
A Servant of Christ,
And Zion's Friend.
May Heaven's Blessing rest upon Him,
May he remember he is Clay, and may he and all Men,
Ascribe the Glories of his past Successes,
And those far greater yet to come,
To the GREAT REDEEMER.
To whom all belongs.
