The warlike City of the hundred gates ; Here, next in glory, Ptolemais shone ; In Chemmis here mysterious Pan was known ; Here rose of Hercules the sacred fane. And mighty Denderah o'erspread the plain. Where once Hermopolis her fame could boast. Where fair Antinoe decks the Eastern coast. Where mazy labyrinths, renown'd of old. The marble chambers of the dead unfold. THE Ml. K. 2^ Wliorc tlic tall Pyramid's crig-antic mound With massive burden loads ih' encumber'd ground ; Where wreck-clad Mem...phis lifts its ruin'd pile, Resistless sweep the waters of the Nile : Then, as the tide a winding- course pursues, Two parted streams illustrious Delta views ; And the deep flood o'er Libya's burning plain Through seven wide channels rushes to the main. Where'er it flows, the bounteous River yields Rrolitic moisture to the cultur'd fields ; With flowery herbag-e decks tlie verdant mead, And ripening harvest of th' implanted seed. When Summer's fervour cleaves the yawning ground. Beyond their banks the rising waves abound.
