EPIGRAM CXIII.
[See! stretch'd on nature's couch of grass]
SPLENDEAT USU.
See! stretch'd on nature's couch of grass,
The foot-sore traveller lies!
Vast treasures let the great amass;
A leathern pouch, and burning glass,
For all his wants suffice.

For him the sun it's power displays,
In either hemisphere;
Pours on Virginia's coast it's blaze,
Tobacco for his pipe to raise;
And shines to light it—here!
