THE FLOOD OF THE TAGUS.

WORD with thee, grand Tagus ;-
Say why, in wrath and pride,

Thy stream rolls down, to plague us,
This deluge wild and wide?

What moves thy spleen at princes?
Thy work is with the clown,
Watering his groves of quinces
By old Toledo town.

Thy boast is in the wonder

Of Rome's imperial sway,
Where flow thy deep waves under
That high o'erarching way,

Where might in age reposes,
By Spaniards noised as far
