— Some royal planet rul'd the southern sky;Thy longing country's darling and desire;Their cloudy pillar, and their guardian fire:Their second Moses, whose extended wandDivides the seas, and shows the promis'd land:Whose dawning day, in very distant age,Has exercis'd the sacred prophet's rage:The people's pray'r, the glad diviner's theme,The young men's vision, and the old men's dream!- John Dryden

“Auspicious Prince! at whose nativity” — Some royal planet rul’d the southern sky;Thy longing country’s darling and desire;Their cloudy pillar, and their guardian fire:Their second Moses, whose extended wandDivides the seas, and shows the promis’d land:Whose dawning day, in very distant age,Has exercis’d the sacred prophet’s rage:The people’s pray’r, the glad diviner’s theme,The young men’s vision, and the old men’s dream!– John Dryden
