[Here Damon liv'd, a Man by Heav'n inspir'd]
Here
Damon liv'd, a Man by Heav'n inspir'd,
At Home ador'd, by Foreigners admired:
Vast was his Muse, his Thoughts by Art refin'd;
His Judgment, like his Fancy, unconfin'd;
His Country's Honour, and his Friends Delight;
Great Britain's Wonder, and the Age's Light.
In ev'ry thing we find the Bard excel,
And his Five Jameses, and his Poems tell,
No Man e're thought, and spoke his Thoughts so well.
Heav'n guard the Place, and may his Race maintain
That Stock of Fame which he did justly gain.
