SOLUTION.

Verse ls,.-The settlement Of America by q

Verse ad-The cock. is France, the dove a
merica-Columbia their union is the epocha
when America shall cease TO love Britain: tor
so understand the prophecy, in which there is
manifes,ly an equiyoqe; which is one OF inc mos
striking charae tcristics OF ancient oracles.
Verse s.-The siege of Yorktown, where APP
proac hes were carried on by working in the
earth. In the second line there is another equl'
vogue. We are told by Mr.. Addison in his
Spectator that a lion will not hurt true maid
this at first seems conlradicted by the prophe'
cy; but it will be found, that at the epooha re-
ferred 10, the virgin, or Virginia, Gas all North
America was then called in Europe) shall
wound the lion, viz Britain, which shews the
precise time when the oracle should be accom-
pllshed.
Verse 4ih Alludes to the alliance between
France aud a ntrica, before whose might Grea,
Britain trouched.
Verse 5'h.-This certainly refers 10 the pc
Rod when France (he cock) guarded the home
Of Americans (the eagles nest. and assisted the

Verse eth.-It is very remarkable that the

first traversed the upper regions, were then first
discovered, and they are here evidently called
ships.
