To Neptune

N EPTUNE , whose trident shakes earth's firm domain,
O'er wide and fertile Helicon who reign;
Give to the mariners, our bark who guide,
Safely to measure back the stormy tide;
Give us high Mima's rocky site once more
In safety, peace, and honour to explore:
And to chastise the race whom fraud could move
To violate the rites of hospitable Jove.
