BUT who advances next, with cheerful grace,
Joy in her eye, and plenty in her face?
A wheaten garland does her head adorn:
O Property! O goddess, English-born!
Where hast thou been? How did the wealthy mourn!
The bankrupt nation sighed for thy return,
Doubtful for whom her spreading funds were fill'd,
Her fleets were freighted, and her fields were till'd.
