XXXII.

While Albion on her parent deep

Shall rest, may glory light her shore,

May honour there his vigils keep

Till time shall wing its course no more;

Till angels wrap the spheres in fire,

Till earth and yon fair orbs expire,

While chaos mounted on the wasting flame,

Shall spread eternal shade o'er nature's frame.
