Thrice happy Aihiun I from the world disjoin'd
By 'leaven 'propitious—blissful seat of Peace,
Learn frompthy Neighbours' miseries to prize
Thy welfare; crown'd with Nature's choicest gifts,
Remote thou hear'it the dire etfal of war,
Depopulation, void alone of fear
And peril, whilst the dismal syMphony
Mdrums and clarions other Realms Mimi.
The Iberian Sceptre undecided, here
Engages mighty hosts In wasteful strife;
From ditizrent climes, the flower of youth dCscelt4
Down to the LUSit3IIIOI vales, resat v'd
Witb utmost hazard' to enthrone their Prince.
