On Eliza's design'd Voyage to Spain.
To Spain! forbid it, heav'n! oh, think no more,To bless, profusely, that abounding shore!
It can, to souls, like thine, no pleasure yield,
To waste manure, on the too fertile field:
Our beggar'd soil, at home, alone, shou'd share,
The gen'rous influence of Eliza's care!
Since Spain, high-treasur'd, grasps the golden west,
Oh! let thy Indies, be, by us, possest!
