IX.
Chorus.Blest prelate, hail!
Most pious patron, most triumphant theme!
85
On Isis' tow'rs new beauties beam,
New praise her Nursing Fathers gain;
Immortal Crew!
Blest prelate, hail!
Recit.
E'en now fir'd fancy sees thee lead
To Fame's high-seated fane
The shouting band!
O'er every hallow'd head
Fame's choicest wreaths she sees thee spread;
Alfred superior smiles the solemn scene to view;
Air VIII.
And bids the Goddess lift
Her loudest trumpet to proclaim,
O Crew, thy consecrated gift,
And echo with his own in social strains thy name.
[Chorus repeated.
