Note 38 — INTRODUCTION.

Dr. Francis thus versifies this passage, in our language:—

————“What bounds old ocean’s tides;

What, through the various year, the seasons guides:

Whether the stars, by their own proper force,

Or foreign pow’r, pursue their wand’ring course:

Why shadows darken the pale Queen of Night;

Whence she renews her orb, and spreads her light.”light.”
