Prophetic visions strike my eye, |
In vain our foes for help shall cry, |
War shall cease, welcome peace, |
And triumphs after victory. |
The hostile band, by his right hand |
Discomfited, forsakes the land. |
Prophetic visions… |

“After the poetry of John Milton and Edmund Spenser.
The work was written in the midst of the Jacobite rising of 1745–1746.” Wikipedia
