VI.

Camden! o'er the Ocean spray

Air.


That Light with faithful gleam shall play
To lead thee on thy willing way.
Now blithely to the sunny gale
Stoop we the bosom of the swelling sail;
Prayers of the noble and the good
Shall waft Thee o'er the buoyant flood;

Scena.


And—Prelude of thy Course and promis'd home—
The shoals escap'd, and cross'd the briny foam,
See! what majestic Augurs come!
