CONCHOLOGY. 



VIII 



Well may your eye, in all that live, 

 Traits of that heavenly love perceive, 



Which still your hearts adore ;— 

 Then may Testacea claim from you, 

 The praise, the admiration due, 

 As opening treasures to your view. 



To emich the mental store. 



IX. 



Alike to thee to float at ease, 

 Lepas !^ upon the summer seas, 



Or midst the tempest's foam ; 

 Thine architecture firmly braves, 

 The lightning's glare, the infiuiate waves, 

 And howsoe'er the ocean raves. 



Secures thee still a home.
