IV TRIO (Soprano, Tenor, and Bass, Accompanied).

The votive song, the festal dance,
Shall greet each step of thine advance
'Midst city throngs; in fern-tree glade,
No Cyclops lurking in the shade.
Where late the savage sought his game
In lonely forest, thou shalt find
Labour, with sturdy frame and mind;
And every river at thy name
Shall glisten with a lasting fame,
As did thy Spring when first it gush'd
From Ætna's foot, with love-dreams flush'd.
