But, Greatest Anna ! while Thy Arms pursue

But, Greatest Anna ! while Thy Arms pursue
Paths of Renown, and climb Ascents of Fame
Which nor Augustus nor Eliza knew;
What Poet shall be found to sing Thy Name?
What Numbers shall Record? What Tongue shall say
Thy Wars on Land, Thy Triumphs on the Main?
Oh Fairest Model of Imperial Sway!
What Equal Pen shall write Thy wond'rous Reign?
Who shall Attempts and Victories rehearse
By Story yet untold, unparallell'd by Verse?
