urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.1	l	As sickly plants betray a niggard earth,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.2	l	Whose barren bosom starves her generous birth,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.3	l	Nor genial warmth nor genial juice retains
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.4	l	Their roots to feed and fill their verdant veins;
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.5	l	And as in climes, where winter holds his reign,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.6	l	The soil, though fertile, will not teem in vain,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.7	l	Forbids her gems to swell, her shades to rise,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.8	l	Nor trusts her blossoms to the churlish skies:
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.9	l	So draw mankind in vain the vital airs,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.10	l	Unformed, unfriended, by those kindly cares
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.11	l	That health and vigour to the soul impart,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.12	l	Spread the young thought and warm the opening heart.
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.13	l	So fond Instruction on the growing powers
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.14	l	Of nature idly lavishes her stores,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.15	l	If equal Justice with unclouded face
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.16	l	Smile not indulgent on the rising race,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.17	l	And scatter with a free though frugal hand
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.18	l	Light golden showers of plenty o'er the land:
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.19	l	But Tyranny has fixed her empire there,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.20	l	To check their tender hopes with chilling fear,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.4.21	l	And blast the blooming promise of the year.

urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.1	l	This spacious animated scene survey
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.2	l	From where the rolling orb, that gives the day,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.3	l	His sable sons with nearer course surrounds,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.4	l	To either pole and life's remotest bounds.
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.5	l	How rude so e'er the exterior form we find,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.6	l	Howe'er opinion tinge the varied mind,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.7	l	Alike to all the kind impartial heaven
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.8	l	The sparks of truth and happiness has given:
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.9	l	With sense to feel, with memory to retain,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.10	l	They follow pleasure and they fly from pain;
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.11	l	Their judgement mends the plan their fancy draws,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.12	l	The event presages and explores the cause.
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.13	l	The soft returns of gratitude they know,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.14	l	By fraud elude, by force repel the foe;
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.15	l	While mutual wishes, mutual woes, endear
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.5.16	l	The social smile and sympathetic tear.

urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.1	l	Say then, through ages by what fate confined
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.2	l	To different climes seem different souls assigned?
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.3	l	Here measured laws and philosophic ease
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.4	l	Fix and improve the polished arts of peace.
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.5	l	There Industry and Gain their vigils keep,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.6	l	Command the winds and tame the unwilling deep.
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.7	l	Here force and hardy deeds of blood prevail;
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.8	l	There languid pleasure sighs in every gale.
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.9	l	Oft o'er the trembling nations from afar
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.10	l	Has Scythia breathed the living cloud of war;
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.11	l	And, where the deluge burst, with sweepy sway
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.12	l	Their arms, their kings, their gods were rolled away.
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.13	l	As oft have issued, host impelling host,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.14	l	The blue-eyed myriads from the Baltic coast.
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.15	l	The prostrate south to the destroyer yields
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.16	l	Her boasted titles and her golden fields:
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.17	l	With grim delight the brood of winter view
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.18	l	A brighter day and heavens of azure hue,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.19	l	Scent the new fragrance of the breathing rose,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.20	l	And quaff the pendent vintage, as it grows.
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.21	l	Proud of the yoke and pliant to the rod,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.22	l	Why yet does Asia dread a monarch's nod,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.23	l	While European freedom still withstands
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.24	l	The encroaching tide, that drowns her lessening lands,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.25	l	And sees far off with an indignant groan
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.26	l	Her native plains and empires once her own?
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.27	l	Can opener skies and suns of fiercer flame
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.28	l	O'erpower the fire that animates our frame,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.29	l	As lamps, that shed at even a cheerful ray,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.30	l	Fade and expire beneath the eye of day?
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.31	l	Need we the influence of the northern star
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.32	l	To string our nerves and steel our hearts to war?
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.33	l	And, where the face of nature laughs around,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.34	l	Must sickening Virtue fly the tainted ground?
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.35	l	Unmanly thought! what seasons can control,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.36	l	What fancied zone can circumscribe the Soul,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.37	l	Who, conscious of the source from whence she springs,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.38	l	By Reason's light on Resolution's wings,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.39	l	Spite of her frail companion, dauntless goes
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.40	l	O'er Libya's deserts and through Zembla's snows?
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.41	l	She bids each slumbering energy awake,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.42	l	Another touch, another temper take,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.43	l	Suspends the inferior laws that rule our clay:
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.44	l	The stubborn elements confess her sway;
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.45	l	Their little wants, their low desires, refine,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.6.46	l	And raise the mortal to a height divine.

urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.7.1	l	Not but the human fabric from the birth
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.7.2	l	Imbibes a flavour of its parent earth:
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.7.3	l	As various tracts enforce a various toil,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.7.4	l	The manners speak the idiom of their soil.
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.7.5	l	An iron-race the mountain-cliffs maintain,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.7.6	l	Foes to the gentler genius of the plain:
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.7.7	l	For where unwearied sinews must be found
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.7.8	l	With sidelong plough to quell the flinty ground,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.7.9	l	To turn the torrent's swift-descending flood,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.7.10	l	To brave the savage rushing from the wood,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.7.11	l	What wonder if, to patient valour trained,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.7.12	l	They guard with spirit what by strength they gained;
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.7.13	l	And while their rocky ramparts round they see,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.7.14	l	The rough abode of want and liberty,
urn:cts:tgap:GrayThomas.TheAllianceofEducationandGovernmentA.English.1716_aleg:1.7.15	l	(As lawless force from confidence will grow)
