"Change wide, and deep, and silently performed,

This Land shall witness; and as days roll on,

Earth's universal frame shall feel the effect;

Even till the smallest habitable rock,

Beaten by lonely billows, hear the songs

Of humanised society; and bloom

With civil arts, that shall breathe forth their fragrance,[853]

A grateful tribute to all-ruling Heaven.

From culture, unexclusively bestowed

On Albion's noble Race in freedom born,[854]
