16-23 Oct 1729:21, 22 (511)
To the right honourable the Earl of Pembroke;
Occasioned by the death of Dr. Samuel Clarke.
Point out the man who, from the bloom of youth,
Has fear`d to wander from the paths of truth,
Who, with a genius to his labours kind,
Traces the workings of th' eternal mind,
. . . [4 lines]
To him the bard directs his plaintive lays,
Inspir'd by sorrow with the song of praise,
. . . [91 lines]
Shall breathe the sweetness of eternal spring,
Where laugh the mountains, and the vallies sing;
Where joys on joys arise, where all is gay,
Enliven'd by the never closing day.
. . . [26 more lines]
