NEST FOH O PE, 473

<< There ſhall tall ſpires, and dome-capt towers aſcend, c And piers and quays their maſy ſtrufures blend;

«« While with each breeze approaching veſlels glide,

«c And northern treaſures dance on every tide!" Then ceas'd the nymph---tumultuous echoes roar,

And Joy's loud voice was heard from ſhore to hore== Her graceful ſteps deſcending preſ'd the plain,

And PEACE, and ART, and LABouR, Join'd her train,

Mr. Wedgwood, having been favoured by Sir Joſeph Banks with a ſpecimen of clay from Sydney Cove, has made a few medallions of it, repreſenting Hope en- Couraging ART and LaBoug, under the influence of PEACE, to purſue the employments neceſlary for render ing an infant colony ſecure and happy. The above verſes were written by the author of The Botanic Gar-

den, to accompany theſe medallions.
