 Puh to a Vice the Lut of doing well,

And in whate're they Practie they excell.

Humes and Da'rymples here adorn the Law,

With teady Jutice,

Neither drive nor draw

But with the Head inform'd, and Hand upright,

Give every Caue its own impartial Weight,

In every Branch of Learning here they rie,

Nothing too high they fear, too low depie,

In every Science, every Jut Extreme,

Men of Perfection may be found with them.

The Laws in Mits and Darknes they make clear,

And Phyick thrives in pight of wholome Air,

Pharmacopaea, void of imples, Lives,

And Surgery in barren Practice thrives,

Philoophy meer imple Knowledge vents,

Rather by Nature than Experiments.

Muick in pight of Dicord, charms the Ear,

And Jarring Parties break no Conort here.

Thus blet with Art, enricht with Heads and Hands,

Producing Seas, and more productive Lands;

The Climate ound, the People prompt and trong;

Why is her Happines delay'd o long?

Why with uch Patience, and o long endure,

Ditempers Prudence could o quickly cure?
