Hangs permanent,[JY] and plentiful as wreaths
Of vapour glittering in the morning sun.
And, wheresoe'er the traveller turns his steps,

How much the mild Directress of the plough
Owes to alliance with these new-born arts!
—Hence is the wide sea peopled,—hence[746] the shores
Of Britain are resorted to by ships
Freighted from every climate of the world
