XXX.

Ah! still diffuse thy genial ray,

Fair Science, on my Albion's plain!

And still thy grateful homage pay

Where Montagu has rear'd her fane;

Where eloquence and wit entwine

Their attic wreath around her shrine;

And still, while Learning shall unfold her store,

With their bright signet stamp the classic ore.
