LINES ON LORD CASTLE-ROSS
Having obtained Two Prize Medals at the College of
Old Hall Green, Hertfordshire.
Hail to the youth! who round his honour'd name
Entwines the blushing wreath of early fame;
Who, urging onward in his first career,
Gives like the spring an earnest of the year!
Hail to the school, whose bright instructive ray
Pours on the opening mind a flood of day;
Whose precepts each subliming thought impart,
Refine, exalt, and dignify the heart:
Where Science, Virtue, Loyalty, reside,
To form each youth his Country's future pride.
