" London, in Ten Stanzas." 



1. 



" Afar in the ocean, towards the extremitie3 of the north-west. 

 There is a nation, or country, called ElNgland : 

 The clime is frigid, and you are compelled to approach the fire j 

 The houses are so lofty, that you may pluck the stars : 

 The pious inhabitants respect the ceremonies of worship. 

 And the virtuous among them ever read the Sacred books : 

 They bear a peculiar enmity towards the French nation. 

 The weapons of war rest not for a moment (between them)."
