    (continued from previous page)
    Now every part shows the vestige of art
    The grain over marshes is blooming
    The natural wild is domestic and mild
    And flowers over swamps are perfuming
    The brushwood, the brake now yield to the rake
    The moor, in the garden, is smiling
    Neat pruned are the bushes with warbling of thrushes
    The husbandman cheers at his toiling
    The skill and the taste which here may be traced
    In cropping and fencing and draining
    In paddocks and bounds and plotting of flowers
    Are fit for a bard's entertaining
    All praise to the wise and bold enterprise
    Who prompted those excellent labours
    And guided the owner of Moughna with honors
    To bless and enlighten his neighbours.
