I look'd and saw within the Book of Fate, Where many days did lowr When lo one happy hour Leapt up, and smil'd to save thy sinking State; A day shall come, when in thy power Thy cruel Foes shall be; Then shall thy Land be free, And thou in peace shalt reign. But take, O take that opportunity, Which once refus'd will never come again.
The Indian Emperor
