Thou beauteous Queen Of OR SPIRIT OF THE AGE. .
Then again may 1 greet thee, from virgipia,s fair
land,
And tend thee the blessings of Caroiina's hand
None brighter or prouelerin the grand constellation.
That form the galaxy of our glorious nation.
May your life be as useful rs has has been good
May your pathway lead up to the Paradise Of God
And when your joys and your pleasures shall have
all ended here,
May a fruition be ripened IN a far brighter sphere
ELOISE.
