O Venus, hail! all hail, immortal Queen! Thou reign'st unbounded o'er the human scene, Where the bright Thames shines forth in azure pride, To where the Ganges rolls its foamy tide, Where the redundant Nile expands his course, Or Niagara throws her headlong force; Still from the east to west, from pole to pole, Thou e'er shalt rule great Sovereign of the whole. (H.Bohn)
