SCIENCE AND GENIUS HAPPILY COMBINED.
Science and genius happily combined,
Adorn, enrich, and elevate his mind;
Moulded by Nature in her happiest mood,
Unawed by threats, by flattery unsubdued;
Each social virtue warms his generous breast,
Lives in his acts, and renders others blest.
Adorn, enrich, and elevate his mind;
Moulded by Nature in her happiest mood,
Unawed by threats, by flattery unsubdued;
Each social virtue warms his generous breast,
Lives in his acts, and renders others blest.
Modest of worth that wins unnumbered hearts,
An artist and a patron of the arts;
Void of a wish another's fame to dim,
Envious of none, though thousands envy him;
Richly endowed with every mental grace,
Indulgent Heaven can give the human race;
Celestial truth completes the perfect plan—
Know you the picture?—Maverick is the man.
