FAREWELL for clearer Ken design'd	A
The dim discover'd Tracts of Mind	A
Truths which from Action's Paths retir'd	B
My silent Search in vain requir'd	C
No more my Sail that Deep explores	D
No more I search those magic Shores	D
What Regions part the World of Soul	E
Or whence thy Streams Opinion roll	E
If e'er I round such Rairy Field	F
Some Pow'r impart the Spear and Shield	F
At which the Wizzard Passions fly	G
By which the giant Follies die	G
Farewell the Porch whose Roof is seen	H
Arch'd with th'enlivening Olive's Green	H
Where Science prank'd in tissued Vest	I
By Reason Pride and Fancy drest	I
Comes like a Bride so trim array'd	I
To wed with Doubt in Plato's Shade	I
Youth of the quick uncheated Sight	I
Thy Walks Observance more invite	I
O Thou who lov'st that ampler Range	J
Where Life's wide Prospects round thee change	J
And with her mingling Sons ally'd	I
Throw'st the prattling Page aside	I
To me in Converse sweet impart	I
To read in Man the native Heart	I
To learn where Science sure is found	I
From Nature as she lives around	I
And gazing oft her Mirror true	K
By turns each shifting Image view	K
Till meddling Art's officious Lore	L
Reverse the lessons taught before	L
Alluring him from a safer Rule	M
To dream in her enchanted School	M
Thou Heav'n whate'er of Great we boast	I
Hast blest this social Science most	I
Retiring hence to thoughtful Cell	N
As Fancy breathes her potent Spell	N
Not vain she finds the charmful Task	O
In Pageant quaint in motley Mask	O
Behold before her musing Eyes	P
The countless Manners round her rise	P
While ever varying as they pass	Q
To some Contempt applies her Glass	Q
With these the white rob'd Maids combine	R
And those the laughing Satyrs join	S
But who is He whom now she views	T
In Robe of wild contending Hues	T
Thou by the Passions nurs'd I greet	I
The comic Sock that binds thy Feet	I
O Humour Thou whose Name is known	U
To Britain's favor'd Isle alone	U
Me too amidst thy Band admit	I
There where the young eyed healthful Wit	I
Whose Jewels in his crisped Hair	V
Are plac'd each other's Beams to share	V
Whom no Delights from Thee divide	I
In Laughter loos'd attends thy Side	I
By old Miletus who so long	W
Has ceas'd his Love inwoven Song	W
By all you taught the Tuscan Maids	X
In chang'd Italia's modern Shades	X
By Him whose Knight's distinguish'd Name	Y
Refin'd a Nation's Lust of Fame	Y
Whose Tales ev'n now with Echos sweet	I
Castilia's Moorish Hills repeat	I
Or Him whome Seine's blue Nymphs deplore	L
In watchet Weeds on Gallia's Shore	L
Who drew the sad Sicilian Maid	I
By Virtues in her Sire betray'd	I
O Nature boon from whom proceed	I
Each forceful Thought each prompted Deed	I
If but from Thee I hope to feel	Z
On all my Heart imprint thy Seal	Z
Let some retreating Cynic find	I
Those oft turn'd Scrolls I leave behind	I
The Sports and I this Hour agree	A2
To rove thy Scene full World with Thee	A2
