THE COURSE OF EMPIRE. The moss, disgusted at an age get butne

Barron of ovory glorious theme,

In distant lands now waits a botter time,

Producing subjects worthy fame.

In happy climes, where from the genial sun

And virgin earth such econos ensue, The force of art by nature soms ontlang;

And fancied beauties by the truo.

In happy climes, the seat of innocence,

Where nature giides and virtue rules, When men shall not impose for truth and sense

The pedantry of courts and schools, There shall be sung another golden age,

The rise of empire and of arts, The good and great inspiring epic rago, The wisest heads and noblest hearts.

Not such as Europe breeds in her decay;

Such as shu breil when fresh and young, When heavenly flame did animato her clay,

By future poets shall be sung,

Westward the course of mapire takes its way:

The first four acts already past; .

A fifth shall close the drama with the day;
