They tried the art Of magic to bring their schemes about
At length their gloomy project artiuny found out
The plan was long INDUCED in a candestne way,
But lately was divulged in North America.

All three were undersigners Of this obscure report
There is pleasant landscape that eth far away,
Beyond the wide Atlantic in North America
hero Is wealthy people that sojourn In that landi
Thee churches all with steeples most delcatey stand
Their houses like the giTy, painted red and gay
They flourish like the lily in North America.
There land with milk and honey continually fow,
The want Of food money they seldom ever knows
They heap up golden reauresthey have debts to pay
They spend their time in pleasures in North America.
On turkeys, fowls, and fishes most frequently they dinc
With gold and silver dishes their tables always shine.
They crown their asts with butter, they eat and rise to play
In silk the ladies' autter in North America.
With gold and slverlaces they do themselves adorni
The ruby decks their faces refulgent as the morn
Wine sparkes in their gases-they spend each happyday
In nerriments and dances in North America.
