The Destiny Of America.
BY BISHOP BERKELEY

The Muse, disgusted at an age and cline
Barren Of every glorious theme,
In distant lands now waits a bottor tims
Producing subjects worthy fame
In happy clmes, wherr from the genial sun
And virgin earth, such scenes ensue
The force Of art by nature seems outione,
And EIncied beauties by the true:
In hlTry r!imel the seat " rrncence.
Where nature guide aud virtue rules
Where men shall not impJSn for truth and sense
The peIantry Of courts and schools
There shall be sung another golden age,
Tn" rise Of empire and Of art,
The good and great inspiring epic rage,
The wise, t heads and uoblest hearts
No, s'rch "a Europe breeds IN her decay:
Such as she bred when fresh and young,
When heavenly fame did animate her clay,
By future poets she'll Re sung.
Westsodrd he course Of empire takes its rdy
The four lrst acts already past,
fifth shall close the drama with the day
Tines nobiest offspring is the last.
