318 Surveyor of the Western plains!
 * The sapient work is thine;

Full-fledged, it sprang from out thy brains,— One added touch alone remains
 * To consummate the grand design:

Select a town—and christen it With thy unrivalled name De Witt!
 * Soon shall the glorious bantling bless us

With a fair progeny of Fools, To fill our colleges and schools
 * With tutors, regents, and professors.
