| | (From Winter) WHERE the Rhine | |
| Branched out in many a long canal extends, | |
| From every province swarming, void of care, | |
| Batavia rushes forth; and as they sweep, | |
| On sounding skates, a thousand different ways, | 5 |
| In circling poise, swift as the winds, along, | |
| The then gay land is maddened all to joy. | | | | |
