Right pleasant ’tis in populous floors to lodge

With many a fellow-tenant: some will find

A greater good in closely severed homes,

That have no common gates: of these thou hast

The ample choice: take what shall like thee most.

Know me thy patron, and in all things know

My citizens thy shield, whose vote hath pledged

Thy safety; surer guarantee what wouldst thou?

Chorus.

Blessing for thy blessing given,
