XV.

Mild Peace! from Albion's fairest bowers

Pure spirit! cull with snowy hands,

The buds that drink the morning showers,

And bind the realms in flow'ry bands:

Thy smiles the angry passions chase,

Thy glance is pleasure's native grace;

Around thy form th' exulting virtues move,

And thy soft call awakes the strain of love.
