THE

BEAUTIES

OF

England and Wales:

OR,

ORIGINAL DELINEATIONS,

TOPOGRAPHICAL, HISTORICAL, AND DESCRIPTIVE,

OF

EACH COUNTY.

EMBELLISHED WITH ENGRAVINGS.

VOL. XIV.

BY

FREDERIC SHOBERL.

Britain high favour'd of indulgent heaven!

Nature's anointed empress of the deep!

The nurse of merchants who can purchase crowns-
Of Gallic lilies this eternal blast

This terror of Armadas!

This small isle wide realm'd monarchs eye with awe,

Which says to their ambition's foaming waves,

"Thus far nor farther!"

This sacred isle,

Cut from the continent, that world of slaves;

This temple built by heaven's peculiar care

In a recess from the contagious world,

With ocean pour'd around it for its guard,

And dedicated long to liberty,

That health, that strength, that bloom of civil life!

YOUNG.
