AN OCCASIONAL ODE.
Written for the Anniversary Of the Lam
castrian Institution.

Written for the Anniversary Of the Lam
castrian Insttntion.
Wisdom is the principal thirg !;
therefore get wisdom; and with all thy
getting, get understanding.
= Proverbs.
OF all that live, and move, and breathe,
Man only rises DER his birth;
He looks above, around, beneath,
At once the heir of heaven and earth |;
Force, cunning, speed, which Nature
gave
The various tribes throughout her plan,
Lie to enjoy, from death to save
--These are the lowest powers OF
Man.
From strength to strength he travles on;
He leaves The lingering Brute behind !;
And when few shsrt years are gone
He soars--a disembodied mind
Beyond the grave; with hope sublime
Destined nobIer Cause to run,
In his career the end of Time
Is but eternity begun!
What guides him in his high pursuit,
Opens, iliumines, cheers his way,
Discerns the Immortal from the Brute,
Gods image from The mould OF clay!
IT'S knowledge knowledge to the
Soul
Is Power, and Liberty and Peace,
And while celestial ages roll,
The joys Of knowledge shall increase.
Hail to the glorious plan, that spread
This light with universal beams.
And through the human desert led
Truths living, pure perpetual streams!
Behold new Creation rise;
New spirit breathed into the clod,
Where'er the Voice of Wisdom cries,
I" Man know myself * te,r thu God !"
