THE LAUREL-GROVE;
OR, THE POET's Tribute TO MUSIC and MERIT.
AND FIRST, To Mr. George-Frederick Handel.
Hail unexhausted Source of Harmony,Thou glorious Chief of Phæbus' tuneful Sons!
In whom the Knowledge of all Magick Number,
Or Sound melodious does concentred dwell.

Must terminate, but never can thy Lays:
For when, absorb'd in Elemental Flame,
This World shall vanish, Music will exist:
Then thy sweet Strains, to native Skies returning,
Shall breathe in Songs of Seraphims and Angels,
Commixt and lost in Harmony Eternal,
That fills all Heaven! ------
