TO THE BRITANNIA TUBE BRIDGE.

Then mighty tube that span'st the opt,
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 hopes and fears,
Thy vast majestic tube was raised
Upon its mighty piers.
Enormous tube 1 for such thou art,
Thy form so vastly planned ;
Calls to my mind that princely Mart,
Which Moses' raised on land.

Nay do not scorn to be corn, ared
With Moses' vast Depot—
A greater Mart was never reared—
And I'm allowel to know.
Bat 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
Establishes the fact.

No equal bath there ever been
To Moses' dress display;
Aid proofs of this thou must have seta
Upon thy launching day.

Didst thou not note, on either shore,
The gentlemen attired
In Moses' 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 here I placed my hand
Slap-bang upon my heart)
May'st thou retain as firm a stand
As Moses' noted Mart.
