4. EGON ONM X OF CANTo 1. --Hither, emerging from yon orient ſkies, BoTAaNIC GoDDESss! bend thy radiant eyes; O'er theſe ſoft ſcenes allume thy gentle reign, Pomona, Ceres, Flora in thy train;

O'er the till dawn tby placid ſmile effulſe,

And with thy filver ſandals print the dews;

In noon's bright blaze thy vermil veſt unfold,

And wave thy emerald bänner“ſtarr d' with“

gold. 50

"Thus ſpoke the GES1vs, as He ſtept along, And bade theſe lawns to Peace and Truth belong; Down the ſteep Nopes He led with modeſt ſkill The willing pathway, and the truant rill, Stretch d oer the marſhy vale yon willowy

mound, Where ſhines the lake amid the tufted ground, Raiſed the young woodland, Imooth'd the wavy SPCEI,

And gave to Beauty all the quiet ſcene.--

She comes!--the GoDDEss!--through the whiſpering air,

Bright as the morn, deſcends her blufhing car; 60
