A POEM, ON THE RISE AND PROGRESS OF MOOR'S INDIAN
CHARITY-SCHOOL, (now incorporated with Dartmouth-College)
it's Removal and Settlement in Hanover, in New-Hampshire and
the foundling's Church in the home.
By one of Doctor Wheelock's Pupils, educated in said School,
and now a Member of said College, preparing for a Mission
among the Indians.
Some heavenly power soft whispering to thy heart,
Inspire my soul and light divine impart;
Teach me to sing how Dartmouth first arose,
In spite of mortal and immortal foes.
. . . [72 lines]
But far, above the end, exalted stand,
The worthy few, who stretch'd their friendly hand,
To lead young Dartmouth, thro' her infant state,
Support, build up, and make her truly great.
O I could my soul, in strains sublimely bold,
Sing as the bards immortal sang of old,
her deeds should live eternal in my lays,
And heaven and earth re-echo to their praise.
. . . [14 lines, 89 lines]
