The fair earth, it shall be for all,
Divide il at your need
So. in his high Olymr,an hall,
The starry Jove decseed.
Each hurried a, the mighty word
The merchant swept the main,
The peesan, drove tho lowing herd,
And sowed the golden grain.
The hunter took the glad green wood,
The soldier drew his sword,

A universal lord"
The miser's wealth was Lille known,
He hid it from the light
The king said, q" Take We ell their own,
And pay me for tho right
Wien, 10 the poet came at last,
Pale watcher OF the air;
The ,pol was shared-the lots were cnff
His, only, was no, there.
He flung him al the feet OF Jove,
And cried VIVA, wrong - done
To him whom thou @ert won, 10 love,
Thy true and favoriic son u
"Blsme thou not me, the God replied,
Some land OF dreams too long,
When earth was given 10 divide,
Has KEEP. thee and thy song

Control the oceans flow

All that was nine below.
"Ah - said the God, beneath my 'hroho
