Sparing each spot of harvest-bearing land, 
And with this mighty work of art have graced 
A rocky isle, encumbered once with sand, 
And near the pyramids have bid thee stand :

But great Latona’s servaut, mild and bland ; 
Watching that prince beloved who fills the throne 
Of Egypt’s plains, and calls the Nile his own.
