THE living speech, from virtue's sacred lore,
Moyes while 'tis utter'd, and affetbw more.
A longer date the marble bull may claim,
And give to future days th' ennobled name ;
From time to time the fpcaking image charms,
And the gay break with gen'rous ardor warms.
Yet oh ! how few from hence improve the mind.
The lecture to one narrow spot confin'd !
Nor the firm statue kill defies the rage
Of easing years and injury of age.
Letters above the pow'r of time contrbul.
And to the lure of virtue bend the foul :
Alone ferule th' illustrious hero's praise,
WhileAa r from climeto climethe pledge conveys;
Far wide the mute inftrudor spreads, nor fears,
The tyrant's edid, or the waste of years.
A long Hereafter claims the deathless page
Improv'd in credit as improv'd in age :
Our late defeendants hence (a race unknown)
Shall makethe world's past knowledge all theirown
What frill foe'er difeerning time repairs.
And ev'ry science amplified by theirs.
