VOL. VI.

"O, ALBION! fairest Isle, whose verdant plain
Springs beauteous from the blue and billowy main;
In peaceful pomp whose glittering cities rise,
And lift their crowded temples to the skies;
Whose streams reflect full many an attic pile,
Whose velvet lawns in long luxuriance smile;
Whose navy on the broad brine awful rolls;
Whose commerce glows beneath the distant poles :"
Thee! O my country! all my soul reveres,
And admiration swells with ripening years.
