PaErRE

BY THE LATE RICHARD CUMBERLAiM,

Oh England! Oh my native
EncirCl'd by thy guardian sea,
May peace within thy borders smile,
And build her halcyon nest with thee.

Mother of Heroes, Nurse of Arts,
For thee I make my filial prayer,

May courage 611 thy soldiers hearts,
And purity adorn thy Fair.

When neighb'ring nations rage around,
And civil faction madly roars,
May no rash zealot then be found,
To spread the phrensy to thy shores.

Firm and united thou shalt stand,
Against the World in arms alone,
Secure from any foreign hand,.
Thou ne'er canst fall but by thine own.
