It was formed with the earth as it came from God's hand,

And man, by its use, has been blest.

My third can be found in every State,
In Scotland, England, or Spain.
We're borne on its breast at a rapid rate,
And 'tis sometimes affected by rain.

ANSWER TO CHARADE No. 17. In olden times, on Egypt's soil,

Where rolls old Nilus grand, Her nation bowed unto the cow

Enthroned upon her strand.

Ye merchants, brokers, bankers, all

Who have great gains in view, PER diem and per centum too,

Is known full well to you.

On England's glowing scroll of fame,
Where'er your eye is turned,
'Tis there you find brave CowPER's name,
The good, the meek, the learned.
