BEING AN ACCURATE

HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION

OF THE

BRITISH METROPOLIS

AND ITS

NEIGHBOURHOOD,

ΤΟ

THIRTY MILES EXTENT,

From an actual Perambulation.

By DAVID HUGHSON, LL.D. d.
Pugh, Edward

VOL. IV.

Come, sacred Peace! come long expected days!
That Thames's glory to the stars shall raise!
Let Volga's banks with iron squadrons shine,
And groves of lances glitter on the Rhine,
Let barbarous rancour arm a servile train;
Be his the blessings of a peaceful reign!
Behold the ascending villas on his side,
Project long shadows o'er the chrystal tide!
Behold AUGUSTA's glittering spires increase;
And temples rise, the beauteous works of peace!
I see, I see, where two fair cities bend
Their ample bow, a new Whitehall ascend!
There mighty nations shall enquire their doom,
The World's great oracle in times to come.

POPE.
