6 CONCHOLOGY. 



X. 



Chiton /^' thou ne'er hadst cause to fear, 

 The warrior's lance, the warrior's spear, 



Though still in coat of mail ; 

 Health to thy breast, and peace serene, 

 Enjoy thy pleasures submarine, 

 May no rude spoiler intervene. 



Thy safety to assail. 



XL 



Columbia sends thee to our shores. 

 But distant Kurili affords 



The noblest of thy race ; 

 And Scotia too may boast of thee. 

 And Gallia's coast, and Norway's sea. 

 And lovely Erin claims to be 



A fixv'rite dwelling place.
