"Tu nidum servas; ego laudo ruris amoeni
Rivos & musco circumlita saxa nemusque.
Quid quæris? vivo, & regno, simul ista reliqui
Quæ vos ad cœlum effertis rumore secundo."
HOR. Epist. x. Lib. i.

O Nature, how, in every charm supreme,
Thy votaries feast on raptures ever new!
Oh for the voice and fire of seraphim,
To sing thy glories with devotion due!
Blest be the day I 'scap'd the wrangling crew
From Pyrrho's maze and Epicurus' sty;

And held high converse with the god-like few, Who, to th' enraptur'd heart, and ear, and eye, Teach Beauty, Virtue, Truth, Love, and Melody.” BEATTIE.
