Address.
Patrons, we greetgou. To the Dramas fame
Her priesthood joy TO welcome you again.
Around this scene, with varied beauty bright,
The rapt eye wanders with an awed delight;
And, as the heart in vain language seeks,
The tongue that welcomes faters as it speaks.
Here, rank DER rank, in circled radiance rise.

The guardian chief with Freedoms warrant

Whose arm uplfts the thunders of the State
The starry minds, whose measured counsels

Our bark in safety DER the bounding tide,
Are here; and, feuds forgot, see, side by side,

Invoked by you, the Drama bids her train

Thanks to that soul of worth whose enterprise,

Her minstrels CAROL and her morning breaks.
She now, in turn, reflects your kindly smile,
And spreads the products of her grateful toll;
Tenders the joys her cheering charms impart,
Food for the mind, and healing for the heart.
Here, from the world-the world, an old roue
Dull with sense, and without gIudness, gay,
A trfing tyrant and a tiresome toy
How sweet to steal, and know one hour OF Joy

Through the dull day, and bless their stars 'tis
