LOOSE TRANSLATION,

The freedom of which has Reference to the Cast and Character of Mr. Crowe's Poem of Lewesdon Hill, to which the above is the Motto.

[Farewell thy printless sands, and pebbly shore!]

[_]

The attribution of this poem is questionable.

Farewell thy printless sands, and pebbly shore!
I hear the white surge beat thy coast no more;
Pure, gentle source of the high rapturous mood!
Where'er, like the great flood, by thy dread force
Propell'd, shape Thou my calm, my blameless course,
Heav'n, Earth and Ocean's Lord!—and Father of the Good!
