JOHN BRITTON, F. S. A.

VOL. IX.

Britannia, hail! hail, happy isle!
Where joys inhabit, pleasures smile;
Great nurse of heroes, seat of charms;
Supreme in arts, and first in arms.

Trade, arts, and science, flourish here,
And bless each fair revolving year:
Gay-smiling plenty reigns around,
And golden harvests load the ground.
