THE
Rape of the Lock.
CANTO III.
Close by thoſe Meads for ever crown'd with Flow'rs,
Where Thames with Pride ſurveys his riſing Tow'rs,
There ſtands a Structure of Majeſtick Fame,
Which from the neighb'ring Hampton takes it Name.
Here Britain's Stateſmen oft the Fall foredoom
Of Foreign Tyrants, and of Nymphs at home;
Here Thou, great Anna! whom three Realms obey,
Doſt ſometimes Counſel take———and ſometimes Tea.
