September 20th, 1753.
Eternal Rocks Edina's Walls surround,Aloft with Palaces and Castles crown'd:
Here Nature has the rich Material giv'n;
But Arts of Masonry derive from Heav'n.
While Drummond does the deep Foundations cast,
Sound ev'ry Trumpet ev'ry tuneful Blast,
Call ev'ry Star to bless the rising Pyle;
And summon Commerce to the Peristyle.
Tho' Nimrod's impious Tow'r may check the Boast
Of Vanity deceiv'd, and Labour lost,
The true grand Master was the Theban King,
Who built a City by the lyric String.
