DESCRIPTIVE AND NARRATIVE.
MR. JACOB BOBART,
[Professor of Botany, at Oxford.]
THANK Heaven! at last our wars are o'er;
We're very wise, and very poor:
All our campaigns at once are done :
We've ended where we just begun,
In perfect peace: long may it last,
And pay for all the taxes past!
Refill th' Exchequer, chace our fears,
And dry up all the ladies' tears,
For husbands, sons, and lovers lost;
In duels some, in battles most.
Rise, rise, ye Britons, thankful rise! Extol your Empress to the skies; Crown her with laurels ever green, With olives fair inwove between :
