WITH THE LIFE OF THE AUTHOR.

HAMMOND.

And you WEST!

With Learning's feaft my drooping mind fall cheer,
Glad to efcape from Love to fuch a friend.

O goodly Difcipline! from Heav'n yfprong,
Parent of Science, queen of Arts refin'd!
To whom the Graces and the Nine belong,
O bid thofe Graces, in fair chorus join'd

With each bright Virtue that adorns the mind,
O! bid the Mufes, thine harmonious train,
Who by thy aid erft humaniz'd mankind,
Infpire, diret, and moralize, the strain

That doth effay to teach hy treasures now to gain.
