[ocr errors]

Prefid'ft, the feuds of jarring Chiefs to 'fwage,
To check the boift'rous force of party rage,
Raise modeft worth, and guide the high debate,"

Sometimes retiring from the toils of State,

Thou turn'ft th' inftru&tive Greek or Roman page,
Or what our British Bards of later age
In scarce inferior numbers can relate :

Amid this feast of Mind, when Fancy's Child,
Sweet SHAKESPEAR, raps the foul to virtuous deed,
When SPENSER, warbling tunes his Doric lays,

Or the firft Man from Paradife exil'd

Great MILTON fings, can aught my ruftic reed
Prefume to found, that may deserve thy praise ?
