Fain would the muse, inflam'd with pious zeal,
Millions of other graces still reveal,
All cent'ring in this man, to bless the age,
His equal mind and temper void of rage,
His energy in pray'r, his faith sublime,
His meekness, love and candour to a crime;
But conscious of her weakness she declines,
And to some college-bard the glorious theme resigns.

His energy in pray'r, his faith sublime,
His meekness, love and candour to a crime;
But conscious of her weakness she declines,
And to some college-bard the glorious theme resigns.
