ON THE COMPLETION OF HIS SEVENTY-FOURTH VOLUME,

N golden times, contending Puets vied

IN

To fing the Hero of their Country's birth;
But, in thefe days of party-praife and pride,

Who raise their voice in praife of modeft worth?
Yet to Parnaffian eight his name fhall go,

And place him in the conftellation there with SwIFT;
For, know, he ranks with thofe that did beftow
On Britain's Crown her choiceft, noblest gift.

Mine be it, then, though with a junior Mufe
Of humbler vein, this labour to effay :
For candid Fame to Truth fhall ne'er refuse
Another record to a NEW-YEAR'S DAY.

The grateful Sons of Letters yet unborn
Thee, URBAN, for thy genius fhall adore;
Whofe defultory ftudies fhall adorn

Their Country's name, and fwell the rifing store.
Whether, like BOYLE OF NEWTON, they fhall trace
Myfterious Nature to her fecret fource,

Range the ftarr'd Poles, or through unbounded space
O'ertake the burning Comet's rapid course;

Or whether they, more fav'rites yet of Heav'n,
Like SHARSPEARE or like MILTON feek to vie,
To Poefy's foft phrenzy often given,

Twine round their brows the bays that never die.

Here fhall the Poet frame the votive lay,

To URBAN's praise in ages yet to come;

"Yes," fhall fome raptur'd Bard be heard to say,
"'Twas URBAN's labours rear'd the fwelling tome.”

Hence, long as Time fhall hold his waining glafs,
Within thy Repertory their works fhall fhine,

And Sons of Science, yearly as they pafs,

Their choiceft gifts together fhall entwine..

Blefs'd be their names who feek the Public Good,
Deny'd by none who know their Country's right;
Inftruction is a blefling, like a flood,

Sweeps all before it in a flood of light.

Urge boldly on, by fair renown be led,

Juft as of old in claffic days when try'd,

Proud as Scamander, when Jove's offspring faid, "Rife, Ilion, rife!" and Ilion rear'd her head. Dec. 31, 1804. H. LEMOINE.
