Far from your busy crowded court,

Tranquillity makes her report;

Where 'mid cold Staffa's columns rude,

Resides majestic solitude;

Or where in some sad Brachman's cell,

Meek innocence delights to dwell,

Weeping with unexperienc'd eye,

The death of a departed fly:

Or in _Hetruria_'s heights sublime,

Where science self might fear to climb,

But that she seeks a smile from thee,

And wooes thy praise, SOCIETY.
