And has the Sun his flaming chariot driven	A
Two hundred times around the ring of heaven	A
Since Science first with all her sacred train	B
Beneath yon roof began her heavenly reign	B
While thus I mused methought before mine eyes	C
The Power of Education seemed to rise	C
Not she whose rigid precepts trained the boy	D
Dead to the sense of every finer joy	D
Nor that vile wretch who bade the tender age	E
Spurn Reason's law and humour Passion's rage	E
But she who trains the generous British youth	F
In the bright paths of fair majestic Truth	F
Emerging slow from Academus' grove	G
In heavenly majesty she seemed to move	H
Stern was her forehead but a smile serene	I
'Softened the terrors of her awful mien '	J
Close at her side were all the powers designed	K
To curb exalt reform the tender mind	K
With panting breast now pale as winter snows	L
Now flushed as Hebe Emulation rose	L
Shame followed after with reverted eye	M
And hue far deeper than the Tyrian dye	M
Last Industry appeared with steady pace	N
A smile sat beaming on her pensive face	N
I gazed upon the visionary train	B
Threw back my eyes returned and gazed again	O
When lo the heavenly goddess thus began	P
Through all my frame the pleasing accents ran	P
	-
'When Superstition left the golden light	Q
And fled indignant to the shades of night	Q
When pure Religion reared the peaceful breast	R
And lulled the warring passions into rest	R
Drove far away the savage thoughts that roll	S
In the dark mansions of the bigot's soul	S
Enlivening Hope displayed her cheerful ray	T
And beamed on Britain's sons a brighter day	T
So when on Ocean's face the storm subsides	U
Hushed are the winds and silent are the tides	U
The God of day in all the pomp of light	Q
Moves through the vault of heaven and dissipates the	V
night	Q
Wide o'er the main a trembling lustre plays	W
The glittering waves reflect the dazzling blaze	W
Science with joy saw Superstition fly	M
Before the lustre of Religion's eye	M
With rapture she beheld Britannia smile	X
Clapped her strong wings and sought the cheerful isle	X
The shades of night no more the soul involve	Y
She sheds her beam and lo the shades dissolve	Y
No jarring monks to gloomy cell confined	K
With mazy rules perplex the weary mind	K
No shadowy forms entice the soul aside	Z
Secure she walks Philosophy her guide	Z
Britain who long her warriors had adored	A2
And deemed all merit centred in the sword	A2
Britain who thought to stain the field was fame	B2
Now honoured Edward's less than Bacon's name	B2
Her sons no more in listed fields advance	C2
To ride the ring or toss the beamy lance	C2
No longer steel their indurated hearts	D2
To the mild influence of the finer arts	D2
Quick to the secret grotto they retire	E2
To court majestic truth or wake the golden lyre	E2
By generous Emulation taught to rise	C
The seats of learning brave the distant skies	C
Then noble Sandys inspired with great design	F2
Reared Hawkshead's happy roof and called it mine	F2
There have I loved to show the tender age	E
The golden precepts of the classic page	E
To lead the mind to those Elysian plains	G2
Where throned in gold immortal Science reigns	G2
Fair to the view is sacred Truth displayed	H2
In all the majesty of light arrayed	H2
To teach on rapid wings the curious soul	S
To roam from heaven to heaven from pole to pole	S
From thence to search the mystic cause of things	I2
And follow Nature to her secret springs	I2
Nor less to guide the fluctuating youth	F
Firm in the sacred paths of moral truth	F
To regulate the mind's disordered frame	B2
And quench the passions kindling into flame	B2
The glimmering fires of Virtue to enlarge	J2
And purge from Vice's dross my tender charge	J2
Oft have I said the paths of Fame pursue	K2
And all that Virtue dictates dare to do	K2
Go to the world peruse the book of man	P
And learn from thence thy own defects to scan	P
Severely honest break no plighted trust	L2
But coldly rest not here be more than just	L2
Join to the rigours of the sires of Rome	M2
The gentler manners of the private dome	M2
When Virtue weeps in agony of woe	N2
Teach from the heart the tender tear to flow	N2
If Pleasure's soothing song thy soul entice	O2
Or all the gaudy pomp of splendid Vice	O2
Arise superior to the Siren's power	P2
The wretch the short lived vision of an hour	P2
Soon fades her cheek her blushing beauties fly	M
As fades the chequered bow that paints the sky	M
So shall thy sire whilst hope his breast inspires	Q2
And wakes anew life's glimmering trembling fires	R2
Hear Britain's sons rehearse thy praise with joy	D
Look up to heaven and bless his darling boy	D
If e'er these precepts quelled the passions' strife	S2
If e'er they smoothed the rugged walks of life	S2
If e'er they pointed forth the blissful way	T
That guides the spirit to eternal day	T
Do thou if gratitude inspire thy breast	R
Spurn the soft fetters of lethargic rest	R
Awake awake and snatch the slumbering lyre	E2
Let this bright morn and Sandys the song inspire '	-
	-
I looked obedience the celestial Fair	T2
Smiled like the morn and vanished into air	T2
