On one End.

Partem aliquam, O venti, divûm referatis ad aures.

On one Side

Salve, quæ fingis proprio modulamine carmen,
Salve, Memnoniam vox imitata lyram!
Dulcè O divinùmque sonas sine pollicis ictu,
Dives naturæ simplicis, artis inops!
Talia, quæ incultæ dant mellea labra puellæ,
Talia sunt faciles quæ modulantur aves.

On the other Side.

HAIL heav'nly harp, where Memnon's skill is shewn,
That charm'st the ear with musick all thine own!
Which tho' untouch'd, can'st rapt'rous strains impart.
O rich of genuine nature, free from art!
Such the wild warblings of the sylvan throng,
So simply sweet the untaught virgin's song,

On the other End.

Christophorus Smart Henrico Bell Armigero.
