Answer:

John Dryden’s Annus Mirabilis has a patriotic overall tone. It is a commendation to the city of London. Dryden emphasizes pride in the British victory over the Dutch. The tone changes to more of an encouragement halfway through the poem. He wants the people of London to leave the past behind and to work to make London greater. He is hopeful for times in the future, as can be seen in these lines: "Already we have conquer'd half the war, And the less dangerous part is left behind: Our trouble now is but to make them dare, And not so great to vanquish as to find."
