Strana 127 - The virtues of thy heart, more aâive than his own* Thy foul fupplies new funds of health That fail not in the trying hour, • Above Arabia's fpicy wealth And Pharmacy's reviving power. The tranfports of the generous mind. Feeling its bounty to mankind, Infpirit every mortal part ; And, far more potent than precarious art, Give radiance to the eye, and vigor to the heart.
Strana 144 - Rival of Greece, in arms, in arts, Tho' deem'd in her declining days, Britain yet boafts unnumber'd hearts, Who keenly pant for public praife : Her battles yet are firmly fought By Chiefs with Spartan courage fraught: Her Painters with Athenian zeal unite To trace the glories of the profp'rous fight, And gild th' embatttTd fcene with art's immortal light.
