Maun British wrangs be righted.

My country! and while yet a nook is left,
Where English minds and manners may be found,
Shall be constrain’d to love thee.

COWPER'S Task, The Time Piece.

There learned arts do flourish in great honour,

And poet's wits are had in peerless price; Religion hath lay power, to rest upon her,

Advancing virtue, and suppressing vice.
For end all good, all grace there freely grows,

Had people grace it gratefully to use :
For God his gifts there plenteously bestows,
But graceless men them greatly do abuse.

SPENCER, Colin Clint.
O blest Britannia ! in thy presence blest,
Thou guardian of mankind! whence spring alone,
All human grandeur, happiness, and fame ;
For Toil by thee protected, feels no pain ;
The poor man's lot with milk and honey flows ;
And, gilded with thy rays, even death looks gay.

And her whole conduct rational and kind.

An index to thy soul, tho' there display'd
We see thy mind at large, and thro' thy skin
Peeps out that courtesy which dwells within.
