Behold where bound, and of its robe bereft. By needy Man, that all-depending lord, How meek, how patient, the mild creature lies 1 What softness in its melancholy face, 415 What dumb, complaining innocence appears i Fear not, ye gentle tribes, 'tis not the knife Of horrid slaughter that is o'er you waved ; No, 'tis the tender swain's well-guided shears, Who having now, to pay his annual care, 420 Borrowed your fleece, to you a cumbrous load, Will send you bounding to your hills again. A simple ...scene 1 yet hence Britannia sees Her solid grandeur rise : hence she commands Th' exalted stores of every brighter clime, 425 The treasures of the Sun without his rage • Hence, fervent all, with culture, toil, and arts, Wide glows her land : her dreadful thunder hence Rides o'er the waves sublime, and now, e'en now, Impending hangs o'er Gallia's humble coast j 430 Hence rules the circling deep, and awes the world 'Tis raging noon ; and, vertical, the sun Darts on the head direct his forceful rays.
