TIE ART OF PRINTING.
The world to cnlighten, fair science descends,
Inspired is Fats, with her genial ray
An art he discovers, that all arts transcends,
II bursts on the world, like the dawning Of
day,
1t bursts on the world, like the dawning of
day.
Hail the great transcendant art,
That dispels the gloom Of ages
Hail the art, that does inpart,
Knowledge SO revered BY sages.
And now from the cQFn see knowledge arise,
Her luminous form beams resplcndent.y
bright;
No mi'ion the diamond nor bearl can despise,
That forms the impress OF the goddess of
light.
That forms the impress of the goddess of
light.
Hail, &c.
The coamoa proclaim her loud welcome OH
earth,
No gaiio.oS nor de,l, her stebs can impede,
When columns are bound, to rejoice at the birth,
OF An art, that Will make her imnortalindced,
Ofan aIt, that will make her immortal indeed.
Hall, &c.
In praise of our art, Brother Typos all join
While Ftips and Monks in astonshnIent
gaze,
Wei! s.ies to the rnle, and embellish the line,
Where wisdom and science its value displays.
Where " sdom and science its value displays.
