I have been musing what our Banks had said br And Cook, had they had second sight, that here br (Where fifty years ago the first they were br Of voyagers, whose feet did ever tread br These savage shores) — that here on this south head br Should stand an English farm-hut; and that there br On yon north shore, a barrack tow'r should peer; br Still more had they this simple Tablet read, br Erected by their own compatriots born, br Colonists here of a discordant state, br Yet big with virtues (though the flow'ry name br Which Science left it, has become a scorn br And hissing to the nations), if our Great br Be Wise and Good.
