“Look now abroad—another race has fill’d

These populous borders—wide the wood recedes,

And towns shoot up, and fertile realms are till’d;

The land is full of harvests and green meads;

Streams numberless, that many a fountain feeds,

Shine, disembower’d, and give to sun and breeze

Their virgin waters; the full region leads

New colonies forth, that toward the western seas
