G338 ON THE COMPLETION OF HIS SEVENTY-FOURTH VOLUME. vi74

N'golden times, contending Por's ried

To fing the Hero of their country's birth;
But, in there days of party-praise and pride,

Who raise their voice in praise of modest worth?
Yet to Parnassian height his name thall go,

And place him in the constellation there with SWIFT;
For, know, he ranks with those that did bestow

On Britain's Crown her choiceft, noblett gift.
Mine be it, then, though with a junior Muse

Of humbler vein, this labour to effay :
For candid Fame to Truth shall ne'er refuse

Another record to a New-YEAR'S DAY,
The grateful Sons of Letters yet unborn

Thee, URBAX, for thy genius fhall adore ;
Whofe desultory studies shall adorn

Their Country's name, and swell the rising store,
Whether, like BOYLE of Newton, they shall trace

Mysterious' Nature to her secret source,
Range the ftarr'd Poles, or through unbounded space
O’ertake the burning Comet’s rapid course;

whether they, more fav’rites yet of Heav'n,
Like SUAB SPEARE or like Milton seek to vie,
To Poesy's soft phrenzy often given,

Twine round their brows the bays that never die.
Here shall the Poet frame the votive lay,

To URBAN's praise in ages yet to conie;
E "Yes," thall some raptur'd Bard be heard to say,

« T was URBAN's labours rear'd the swelling tome."
Hence, long as Time fhall hold his waining glass,

Within thy Repertory their works shall shine,
o
GEORD Sons of Science, yearly as they pass,

Their choiceft gifts together fhall entwine.
Bless'd be their names who seek the Public Good,

Deny'd by none who know their Country's right;
Instruction is a blessing, like a flood,

Sweeps all before it in a flood of light.
Urge boldly on, by fair renown be led,

Just as of old in classic days when try'd,
Proud as Scamander, when Jove's offspring said,

" Rife, Ilion, rife!" and Ilion rear'd her head,
Deç, 31, 1804.
