In ancient times, wken darkness fill'd the land,
'Ere t-ue Religion rais'd her saving hand,
. Disease, uncheelid, Its baneful coarse pursued,
And Death, triumphant still, the havoc view'd—
No Charities, like your's, the Heathen sages rased,
The Sophist fled, when Misery appear'd!
Britons, 'iis your's, is this bless'd land to chew,
That human nature feels for human woe—
In this dear land; the wretched still shall find
The gees of Mercy open to Mankind!
While other nations sink beneath their tamer,
0, may your virtues live In future times !
Uphold thesStatc, when future tempests roar,
And beat the torrent back from Britain's shore !

See Europe prostrate in a Despot's chains !
Deep-in OUR UEARTS a VIRTUOUS MONARCH reigns!
Bids his proud subjects with each other vie,

To pin like Him, that fame which ns'er &bail die!
• His great eprople be it ours to tare,
And toeb his virtues to a generous race !
Friends of the Poor ! in danger's awful hour,
When Sickness threatens, or Misfortunes lover,
The grateful incense of the mire here given,
Shall smooth your passage to a promis'd Heaven!
And:while your boutfty checks Affliction's rod,
Still shall it pisive a passport to your Goo !
