Th' attainments of learning include the power
Of portraying the lineaments, but where
Is genius, elevated as the tower,
O'erlooking beauty spread in prospect fair?

Colouring more than hues however rare,
Preserves from the withering hand of time
Th' expression of thought in its gifts sublime,
Clothing in loveliness itself doth wear ;

This has giv"n immortality to those
In of existence the lowliest vale,
But high as mountains in conception great,

Which mock in their stability the gale,
Increasing as its fulness brightly flows,
Reflecting, as sky-gleam'd waves fame that does await.
