Shall walk at eve his little empire’s bound,

Emblazed with ruby vintage, ripening corn,

And verdant rampart of Acacian thorn,

While, mingling with the scent his pipe exhales,

The orange-grove’s and fig-tree’s breath prevails;

Survey with pride beyond a monarch’s spoil,

His honest arm’s own subjugated soil;

And summing all the blessings God has given,

Put up his patriarchal prayer to Heaven,

That when his bones shall here repose in peace,
