TO THE BRITANNIA TUBE BRIDGE.
Thou mighty tube that span'st the sea,
At Menai's far-famed straits ;
My wonder-stricken muse on thee
With duteous honour waits.

How mighty looks thy iron frame,
While ocean yawns below ;
Thou wilt immortalize the name
Of him who formed thee so.

To Rhodes' huge colossal form,
Successor thou shalt be;
A monster mid'st the ocean's storm—
The wonder of the sea.
Well might thy builder's skill be praised,
While 'mid our hepes and fears,
Thy vast majestic tube was raised
Upon its mighty piers.
Enormous tube! for such thou art,
Thy form so vastly planned ;
Calls to my mind that princely Mart,
Which ➢loses' raised on laud.

:Nay do not scorn to be corarared
With Moses' vast Depot—
A greater Mart was never reared—
And I'm allowed to know.
But what is giant bulk alone,
When rightly understood?
'Tis nought, unless some use is shown—
Some end to public good.

The Mart of Moses, like to thee,
Was thus designed to act;
And every article we sae
FAablishes the fact.

No equal hath there ever been
To Moses' dresi display ;
Ani proofs of this thou must have seen
Uron thy launching day.

Didst thou not note, on either shore,
The gentlemen attired
In Noses' dress, which more and more,
Deserves to be admired?

I noticed them : for there they were,
In tans of thousands, too ;
And oft amid the exciting stir,
I turned me round to view.
Great tube (and hero I placed my hand
Slap-bang upon my heart)
ay'st thou retain as firm a stand
As Moses' noted Mart.
