Where Smith who trod old ocean's stormy track,

The noble state of chivalry did found.

Delightful hours thou mad'st them all, when I

Went musing there with thee, my spirit guide,

I saw the chieftain with his eagle eye,

And all his val'rous comrades, by his side.

I saw the doubtful scene; the hard assay,

The daring crown'd with victory at last;

I saw the ancient forest fall away,

I saw the little empire spreading fast.
