XXXI.

Enlight'ning Peace! for thine the hours

That wisdom decks in moral grace,

And thine invention's fairy powers,

The charm improv'd of nature's face;

Propitious come! in silence laid

Beneath thy olive's grateful shade,

Pour the mild bliss that sooths the tuneful mind,

And in thy zone the hostile spirit bind.
