.ntended for the BUST of GARRICK at Drury-Lane Theatre.
• Sacred to the Memory of DAVID GARRICK.
While rival Bards in pompous verse display
. The fleeting triumphs of the transient day,
While Heroes boast of battles nobly won,
Of slaughter'd Millions and of States undone;
While milder manners to this impulse yield,
And chaunt the glories of the well fought field,
The grateful muse 0, Garrick shall proclaim
Thy proud pretensions to immortal fame ;
Around thy honor'd bust, the sacred Nine,
In laurel wreaths THEIR TROPHIES shall entwine,.
Shall sing the wond'rous magic of thy art,
To seize, to charm, and subjugate the heart ;
How o'er the passions thy supreme controul,
In joy or sorrow, captive led the soul,
How thy discernment ev'ry eye could trace,
In Denmark's Prince and Drugger's vacant face,
Blest Pow'rs of Mind ! where art with nature vies,
In which the excellence of acting 11e. 1
Enraptur'd crowds, encircling Shakespeare shrine,
To latest times shall hail his Pow'rs
But thou, 0, Garrick ! tracing to their source
His varied taknts, gave his geniuS course,
To full perfection ev'ry beauty brought,
As chaste in action, as sublime in thought !
When rage, despair and woe, in frantic Lear,
Claim'd for his wrongs the tributary tear ;
The sympathetic soul, in grief's full tide,
Display'd the Poet's and the Actor's pride;
From the " mind's eye" each trick of art remov'd,.
The flowing tears, the sweet delusion.prov'd.
While from the heart, fond Nature's last appeal !
The cozen'd senses deem'd the fiction real,'
Thus classic taste new charms to Genius gives,
Nor shall thy name expixe, whip illemiry lives, •
While Britain's Bard retains the laurel crown,
Thy fame shall live resplendent as his own
