40. Upon Owen.

Fertilis Autumno, pinguescat Vallis opimo:
Aurea saxosis, Mons habet Exta locis.
Anglia Doctrinæ, lætis ditescat Aristis:
Jactat Odœnum, Wallia sioca Tagum.

Let crouded Wheat, the humble Valleys line:
The steril Mountains Bowels, with Gold shine.

Can with her Golden Owen turn the Scales.
