How has kind Heaveu adorn'd the happy land,
And scatter'd blessings with a wasteful hand!
But what avail ber unexhausted stores,
Her blooming mountains, and her sunny shores,
With all the gifts that Heaven and Earth impart,
The smiles of Nature, and the charms of Art,
While proud Oppression in her vallies reigns,
And Tyranny usurps the happy plains ? Addison,
