ODE HUMBLY INSCRIBED TO THE POET LAUREATE, SELECTION, by                    
First Line: Behold in ev'ry face imperial grace shine
Last Line: Something soft for thought design'd.
Subject(s): Cibber, Colley (1671-1757)


Behold in ev'ry Face imperial Grace shine
All native to the Race of George and Caroline:
In each young Hero we admire
The blooming Virtues of his Sire;
In each maturing fair we find
Maternal Charms of softer kind.

Thro'out the whole what matchless Graces shine
Paraphonalia sparkles in each Line;
Native to Cibber, we admire
The Style and Fancy, Wit and Fire;
In each maturing Word we find
Something soft for Thought design'd.
