BRitain ! the mighty Oceans lovely bride ! Now stretch thy self, fair Isle, and grow; spread wide Thy bosome, and make roome. Thou art opprest With thine own glories, and art strangely blest Beyond thy self: For (lo) the Gods, the Gods Come fast upon thee; and those glorious ods Swell thy full honours to a pitch so high As sits above thy best capacitie.
Are they not ods? and glorious? that to thee Those mighty Genii throng, which well might be Each one an ages labour? that thy dayes Are gilded ...with the union of those rayes Whose each divided beam would be a Sunne To glad the sphere of any nation? Sure, if for these thou mean'st to find a seat Th' hast need, O Britain, to be truly Great.
And so thou art; their presence makes thee so: They are thy greatnesse. Gods, where-e're they go, Bring their Heav'n with them: their great footsteps place An everlasting smile upon the face Of the glad earth they tread on. While with thee Those beames that ampliate mortalitie, And teach it to expatiate, and swell To majestic and fulnesse, deign to dwell, Thou by thy self maist sit, blest Isle, and see How thy great mother Nature dotes on thee.
