"Tu nidum servas; ego laudo ruris amœni
Rivos & musco circumlita saxa nemusque.
Quid quæris? vivo, & regno, simul ista reliqui
Que vos ad coelum effertis rumore secundo."

HOR. Epist. x. Lib. i.

"O Nature, how, in every

charm supreme,

Thy votaries feast on raptures ever new!
Oh for the voice and fire of seraphim,
To sing thy glories with devotion due!
Blest be the day I 'scap'd the wrangling crew
From Pyrrho's maze and Epicurus' sty;

And held high converse with the god-like few,
Who, to th' enraptur'd heart, and ear, and eye,
Teach Beauty, Virtue, Truth, Love, and Melody."
BEATTIE.
