| By wisely planned development | L |
| To an estate of proud content | M |

| So 'mid her rich lands of the south | N |
| Cast from a burning mountain's mouth | N |
| She grows her fruits and lives her life | O |
| Remote from hectic city strife | O |
| And who shall come to her wide sea | H |
| Seeking her hospitality | H |
| In this contented dame shall find | P |
| A gracious lady calm and kind | P |
