Or Paphos choose, or wander with thy maids

Where all Idalia opens all her shades,

Chaste goddess come! and to our isle retire,

Where Love at Hymen’s altars lights his fire;

Where Virtue guards, and Beauty lifts her throne,

Diana’s crescent with the Cyprian zone;

Oh still on Britain goddess bend thy smiles,

The Queen of Empire as the Queen of Isles,

That takes like thee from silver seas her birth,

To rule with equal power, and bless the earth.
