Tenor |
The Lord hath heard my pray’r, |
Mine enemies shall all be blank, and dash’d |
With much confusion. |
Then, grown red with shame, |
They shall return in haste the way they came, |
And in a moment shall be quite abash’d. |

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