    5 I’ve little to say, but only to pray,         As praying’s the ton of your fashion; A prayer from the Muse you well may excuse,         ’Tis seldom her favourite passion.
    Ye Powers who preside o’er the wind and the tide, 10         Who marked each element’s border; Who formed this frame with beneficent aim,         Who
