The line "The Queen will find when call'd to rule": Princess Annes̀ succession to the throne was confirmed by the Act of settlement, June 1701. These events would seem to date the poem to between June 1701 and March 1702, in which month William III died. - Verse - "Since you resign'd your dear commission
