Here, while around, the wave-subjected soil 

Impels the native to repeated toil, 

Industrious habits in each bosom reign, 

And industry begets a love of gain. 

Hence all the good from opulence that springs, 

With all those ills superfluous treasure brings, 

Arc here display’d. Their much lov’d wealth imparts 

Convenience, plenty, elegance, and arts.
