ODE FOR THE NEW-YEAR,                                                   
As performed before their Majesty's, and the Royal Family at            
St. James's, written by. William Whitehead, Esq; Poet-                  
Laureat.                                                                
  Again imperial winter's sway                                          
  Bids the earth and air obey                                           
  Throws o'er yon hostile lakes his icy bar,                            
  And for awhile, suspends the rage of war.
