OF THE

GANGE S

BURRAMPOOTER RIVERS.

They gathering many a flood, and copious fed
With all the mellowed treasures of the sky,
Wind in progreffive majefty along;

And traverse realms unknown, and blooming wilds,

And fruitful defarts Forfaking these,

O'er peopled plains they fair-diffufive flow,

And many a nation feed, and circle fafe,

Within their bofom many a happy ifle.

Thus pouring on, they proudly feek the deep,

Whose vanquish'd tide, recoiling from the shock,
Yeilds to this liquid weight

THOMSON'S SEASONS.
