And of her sisters seems the queen;

Proud from her ancient seats to trace

The lineage of a generous race.

“That generous race,” fair Sudbury cries,

“Is mine,” and bids her turrets rise,

Lifts from the lap of peace her dome,

Where finds Munificence a home;

Then wide her shining lake she leads

Through blossom’d groves and emerald meads,

Cloaths with dark woods the distant scene,
