Cease then , my Friend , thy generous , hopeless aim , Nor to unfeeling Folly yield again Her darling sight , of Genius turnM to scorn , And Virtue pining * in the ^ reH ^> f guilt . Desert no more the Muge ; unfold the stores Of fertile Greece and Latiuni ; free each gem Frorn th 6 darlr crust that shfowds its beauteous beams .
And fair present them to th' admiring eye Arranged ir > kindred lustre . Take serene The tranquil blessings that th y lot affords , And in the soothing voice of friendship drown The groans , and shouts * and triumphs of the world .
TO JOHN AIKIN , M . D . Next to that first of comforts to thfe soul , The plaudit of a conference s elf-appro vM , Aikin ! I deem the gratulation sweet Of sympathising friendship , and a Muse Terse , uncoitfiipt , ingenuous , bold and ftte ,
A Muse froin whom nor titled gi * and ^ ur bribes , Nor pamper ed wealth , a sacrifteifcl strain . Heace , with sensations bland of conscious pride I feel the maurta of thy tuneful toague E > rop medicinal influence on my breast , Ruffled , not torn , by Persecution ' s blast .
Thus ,- after -chilling fro 9 t , morn ' s genial ray Invigorates ,-ehe 6 fs , expands , the shriveRM flower r Thtas tfte broafl mountain flings his cooling shade O ' er the faint pilgrim ifl a thirsty latid . Oh ! may tliy firieiid , as in the noon X ) f life , Responsi \* & to the calls oif Traih and Man , Self in benevolence absorbed ttnfd last .
Thro' the short remnant of his cfcsing day , With brave defiance , or with calm disdain , Front ^ t | bte grim visage of despt ^ c powe r , Lawless , , 6 elftwilP 4 , fieree , merciless , cornipt ; Nor , ' naletet the applauses of the wise and good Los&'tbe fond gteetinga < y { a -Muse li&e thine !
