Here Science wooes him with her tempting lore;
He pants while she unfolds her mental store;
With eager soul seizes the valued prize,
Ambition prompts him, and his prospects rise:
Still where, devoid of care, the stripling roves,
Beside the stream, or through the nodding groves;
Each lively thought the hallow'd Muse inspires;
Big with idea, glowing with her fires,
He gazes round. Genius adores the youth,
And leads him smiling to the shrine of Truth.
