A poem on the art of printing, which was wrought at the
printing press carry'd before the corporation of stationers
in their cavalcade with the other companies of Dublin, thro'
the franchises and liberties of that city.
Sic honour & nomen divinis vartibus atque
Camtiqubus venit--------Hor.
Hail sacred Art! thou gift of Heaven design'd
To impart the charm of wisdom to mankind,
To call forth learning from the realms of night,
And bid bright knowledge rise to publick sight.

Say, Cadmus, by what ray divine inspir'd.
Thou! for a world's instruction greatly fir'd!
Wrapt in what vision! by what God possest!
[ ] the vast image in thy lab'ring breast!
