FOR The Plan of a Fountain,

On which is The Effigies of the Queen on a Triumphal Arch, The Figure of the Duke of Marlborough, beneath, and The Chief Rivers of the World round the whole Work.

1 Ye active Streams, where-e'er your Waters flow,
2 Let distant Climes and furthest Nations know,
3 What Ye from Thames and Danube have been taught,
4 How Anne Commanded, and how Marlbrô Fought.
