162 Phœbus stablish must.

When the Muses nine

With the Virtues meet,

Find to their design

An Atlantic seat,

By green orchard boughs

Fended from the heat,

Where the statesman ploughs

Furrow for the wheat,—

When the Church is social worth,

When the state-house is the hearth,

Then the perfect State is come,

The republican at home.
