Me thinks I see mighty cities rising on every hill, and by the side of every commodious port; mighty fleets alternately sailing out and returning, laden with produce of this, and every other country under heaven; happy fields and villages wherever I turn my eyes, through a vastly extrended territory; there pastures clothed with flocks, and here the valliescover’d with corn, while the little hills rejoice on every side. • O happy country! O happy Kingdom!
