SACCOUNTALA. 64*7 



Without further delay, he gave orders that Saccountala should be 

 treated as his queen, and gave his son the name of Bharata. Causing 

 all the usual ceremonies to be performed for the consecration, he pro- 

 claimed the young prince his legitimate successor, and invested him 

 with the august title of Youva-Radja, 



To Douchmanta, heaven still granted a long series of years, which 

 passed away in undisturbed satisfaction. At his death Bharata inherited 

 his sceptre, and shewed himself, in all things, worthy of his illustrious 

 sire. He soon extended, by his conquests, the vast limits of his empire, 

 and, by his constant love of justice, as much as by the renown of his 

 victories, he filled the universe with his name. 



Of j.The venerable Canoua, whose existence seemed to have been prolonged 

 by heaven, that he might witness the high destinies of his pupil, was 

 established by the young monarch, the supreme chief of the priesthood. 

 Thus, as zealous for the gods, as just towards men, Bharata never ceased 

 to be the idol of his people, who were accustomed to find in him the 

 tender solicitude of a father, rather than the severe authority of a king.

CITY! by whose fair walls proud waters glide, 

 Winding beneath majestic colonnades, 

 Give me kind shelter in their pleasant shades, 



When summer suns are in meridian pride. 



And let me walk the sounding Aar beside, 



When day-light o'er the distant Jura fades ; 



Slow wander down those ever- verdant glades 

 That drink the dew-drops from the sparkling tide. 

 Steep rise the banks above the rapid river, 



With woods now green, and now with autumn sere ; 

 And they who know not change, the far Alps quiver j bsiBai 



Like burning gold in ether's furnace clear ; too o j m9 



While dark each valley gradually growjw* jriphn ft nog m 

 In evening's calmly-eloquent repose.
