I	A
	-
	-
Farewell to Leyden's lonely bound	B
The Belgian Muse's sober seat	C
Where dealing frugal gifts around	B
To all the favorites at her feet	C
She trains the body's bulky frame	D
For passive persevering toils	E
And lest from any prouder aim	D
The daring mind should scorn her homely spoils	E
She breathes maternal fogs to damp its restless flame	D
	-
	-
Farewell the grave pacific air	F
Where never mountain zephyr blew	G
The marshy levels lank and bare	F
Which Pan which Ceres never knew	G
The Naiads with obscene attire	H
Urging in vain their urns to flow	I
While round them chaunt the croking choir	H
And haply sooth some lover's prudent woe	I
Or prompt some restive bard and modulate his lyre	J
	-
	-
Farewell ye nymphs whom sober care of gain	K
Snatch'd in your cradles from the god of love	L
She render'd all his boasted arrows vain	K
And all his gifts did he in spite remove	M
Ye too the slow ey'd fathers of the land	N
With whom dominion steals from hand to hand	N
Unown'd undignify'd by public choice	O
I go where liberty to all is known	P
And tells a monarch on his throne	P
He reigns not but by her preserving voice	O
	-

II	A
	-
	-
O my lov'd England when with thee	Q
Shall i sit down to part no more	R
Far from this pale discolor'd sea	Q
That sleeps upon the reedy shore	R
When shall i plough thy azure tide	S
When on thy hills the flocks admire	J
Like mountain snows till down their side	S
I trace the village and the sacred spire	J
While bowers and copses green the golden slope divide	S
	-
	-
Ye nymphs who guard the pathless grove	T
Ye blue ey'd sisters of the streams	U
With whom i wont at morn to rove	T
With whom at noon i talk'd in dreams	U
O take me to your haunts again	V
The rocky spring the greenwood glade	W
To guide my lonely footsteps deign	K
To prompt my slumbers in the murmuring shade	W
And sooth my vacant ear with many an airy strain	K
	-
	-
And thou my faithful harp no longer mourn	X
Thy drooping master's inauspicious hand	N
Now brighter skies and fresher gales return	Y
Now fairer maids thy melody demand	N
Daughters of Albion listen to my lyre	J
O Phoebus guardian of the Aonian choir	H
Why sounds not mine harmonious as thy own	P
When all the virgin deities above	L
With Venus and with Juno move	M
In concert round the Olympian father's throne	P
	-
	-
III	A
	-
	-
Thee too protectress of my lays	Z
Elate with whose majestic call	A2
Above degenerate Latium's praise	Z
Above the slavish boast of Gaul	A2
I dare from impious thrones reclaim	D
And wanton sloth's ignoble charms	B2
The honors of a poet's name	D
To Somers' counsels or to Hamden's arms	B2
Thee freedom I rejoin and bless thy genuine flame	D
	-
	-
Great citizen of Albion Thee	Q
Heroic valour still attends	C2
And useful science pleas'd to see	Q
How art her studious toil extends	C2
While truth diffusing from on high	A
A lustre unconfin'd as day	D2
Fills and commands the public eye	A
Till pierc'd and sinking by her powerful ray	D2
Tame faith and monkish awe like nightly demons fly	A
	-
	-
Hence the whole land the patriot's ardour shares	E2
Hence dread religion dwells with social joy	F2
And holy passions and unsullied cares	E2
In youth in age domestic life imploy	A
O fair Britannia hail With partial love	L
The tribes of men their native seats approve	M
Unjust and hostile to each foreign fame	D
But when for generous minds and manly laws	G2
A nation holds her prime applause	G2
There public zeal shall all reproof disclaim	D
