white, pleat'd with trifling gaudy toys, the Fair
On outward beauty twat all their care,
And ilrive, regardlefi of the fpark divine,
l'afhion's dint and tranfient beams to dine;
Viou, and aecontglifh'd DIVON, borrow rays
From Learning's fun, and fpread a letting blue;
N.e, while encircled by the Asti, you fit,
?strolls of tafte, and arbiters of wit,
Eceray contempt, or fwell with triumph vain,
but all the foftnefs of your fez retain.
As the grave Mule awakes the warbling ftrinp,
The Graces round you dance in airy rings ;
And wedded Love on purple pinion flies,
Extends his torch, and lights it at your eyes.
Deign to beftow a glince of kind regard
On the fond efforts of a ftranger Bard,
Who, charm 'd with Devon's (*weedy varied itraki,
Hu made her vocal on Aufonla's plain;
But fears that half her fpirit, In his lay,
Too pure to be transfus'd, has ebb'd away
For who can match the melting raptures, fire,
And bold ezpreffion, of her Englifh lyre;
Whate'er her theme, pourtray'd in colours trite,
Isebgtowtog objesft burfts upon the view s
The fitter torrent now regales the fight,
Cahn—till it tumbles o'er ihe frownhig height."
Now op the midway Amp, with motion llovi,
We toil, o'cribadoir'd by th' impending (now.
And, as we trace the windiig path, totheii
To ftir, with fainteft found, the ties of air,
Lelt the huge mats mould ftart, and, downvraid hurrd,
Heap ruin on the vale, and (hake the world..
With tranfport now we hail the fine of Test,
Piercl by whole daft a cruel tyrant fell;
And. as w'e point ftand, implore the fides
That other Tells, when other tyrants rife,
May (print to vengeance in a node fojuft,
Aim the fore blow, and stretch them in the diftl
ikst why to thee her talents thus rehears ?
Why paint the magic beauties of her Ted. i
Pull well thou kncrw'ft them, and, with tafte feted,
Inlay% thetich effufione oy her mind.
Pride of the land! Whateer of good or fair
Celellid bounty pees, you largely awe.
Your frank demeanour, (miles einform'd by art,
And polifh'd graces rat" every heart ;
Your fortnefs loathes, your lively kirk warms,
And Science essisins the tiitiinph of your chums.
Not half to high Saint Gothard lifts his creft
Above the deeds that veil his mined break,
As you 'land o'er all that darkens life,
The milts of envy, and the Rorms of *rife;
sNor views the mountain from his Wu! heigki,
Though wide the prelims% half' fo Yinud a fight,
As roe, who, thron'd on Pindis, the Nina)
See Poets crowd to warily at your (brine;
Ds Luau the leader of the tttneftil throng,

And feller, till he burftsihe filken cloud,

And high in air with ardent vigour fprings ;
