The engine roan upon ita raoe,
The abu~tte whim along the woof.
The people hum from fioor to roof
With Babel tongue.

The chanting organ echoet clear,

By splendid aiale and apnn~g arch
Of tb1s fair Hall :
And eee I abon the fabrio nat,

God'• peaceful eunlight^1 a beiUDi.ug through,
.And ehines o'er all.

Whoee oourage lftjll wu tried ;

And laid her on her Bide.

And 1he waa ovenet ;
Down went the Roylll George,
With her crew all oomplete.
