��THE OAK.
��Imitatedfrom the foregoing.
��1 HE tall Oak, towering to the skies. The fury of the wind defies, From age to age, in virtue strong. Inured to stand, and suffer wrong.
O'erwhelm'd at length upon the plain, It puts forth wings, and sweeps the main ; The self-same foe undaunted bi-aves, And fights the wind upon the waves.
