He Plan's Decrib'd, the Seas and Shores Survey'd;

Let's now the Treaures of the Land Invade,

Travere their Hills, and all their Vales Decry,

And pread their jut Decription to the Eye.

The Rugged Nation plac'd by Nature here,

Shall in their fancied Poverty appear;

The World hall bluh, when they their Picture ee,

And Fame grow Proud to Print their Hitory.

The Soil no more unjut Reproach hall bear,

For all they Talk of Barren's lander here,

And 'tis, or may be Fruitful ev'ry where.

A hardy Race poes the tormy Strand,

And hare the Moderate Bountys of the Land,

Fitted by Nature for the Boitrous Clime,

And larger Bleings will grow due by time.

The num'rous Off-pring patient and edate,

With Courage pecial to the Climate wait.

When Nigard Nature hall their Nation hear,

Shall mile, and pay them all the Vat Arrear.

A manly urlines, with Temper mix'd,

Is on their meanet Countenances fix'd.
