Stop, Traveller, here, admire with grateful heart
A Country flourithing in ev'ry Part;
Mark the gay Landfcape, hulling at thy feet ;
And kt Dena with hen& transport beat !
See Villas, Farms, and Hamlets, all around.
See city fpot with Peace and Plenty crowtil !
Here equal Laws bind in one equal Chain,
Te feeptred Monarch and the menial Train ;
Here equal' Rights are ev'ry Briton's Lot.
From the proud Palace to the humble Cot.
Here no Baftile affrights thee with its Chains;
No Cayenne's (bores, no wild Siberia's Plains,
Deftroy the Pre'', Palladium of our Laws ;
Of glorious Freedom both th' tired and caufe ;
No I.nrdlings privile;l, from Sire to Sire,
Cramp dawning Genius, frees: its memos Fire ;
But all may chide their Path to M'ealth or Power,
" And ftrut and foam the Puppet of an Hour."
Thro' !homy waves court Fortune's fickle dame;
Then' tented Fields partite the phantom Fame;
In the loud Forum guard Infulted Law;
In the proud Senate venal Statefmen awe;
Whilft each enjoy% his well earri'd Gains at reft,
And fccks the blifs congrnlal to his Britt.
Old Ocean guards thee, in id& a Haft, .
Thy Town. of Strength, thy Bulwark, and thy Boaft ;
In ev'ry fa thy rinquering Ilag's unfurl'd,
And bids defiance to a batik world;
Joins ilftant India to pale Hecla's fnows,
And wafts new wealth by ev'ry wind that blows.
Whilit thy fair Daughters, lovely as the morn,
'Whom ev'ry Virtue, ev'ry Grace adorn;
Like Sparta's Matrons, once renown'd in long,
Neer law the fmoke of Gallia's vengeful throng ;
Ne'er law thy fields in dcfolation laid,
And the fierce foldier to frel carnage wade !
Then thank the Power benign who rules this Ball,
Whole rye pervades, whofe nod directs us all;
That BIINO, worthipp'd as the firft Great Caufe,
Who guides all Nature. by unerring laws,
Whilft fome bedew their fetters with their tears,
Robb'd of their all, a prey to anxious fears;
Whilft untold millions at the sultry line,
In Cloth, In vice, In haplefs bondage pine;
Or torn diftraded, from their native plain,
Are dooml to toil beyond the Victim main;
He gave thee birth its Britain's happier Me,
Where Freedom cheers thee with her heav'nly fault;
Gave thee to range the unknown worlds of (pace,
And eves, the paths of his bright orbs to trace ;
Gave thee to foar thro'Sdencc unconfin'd,
And ftamp'd his image on thy free born r. ind ;
Then humbly-grateful for the boon befterw'd,
Adore the GOD from whom thefeblcifinp Bowl!
