From the Pennsylvania Gazette. ON HEARING THE ORGAN, AT ST.
PAUL'S CHURCH, ON CHRISTMAS DAY, 1762.
Hail heav'n born science! whose enliv'ning touch,
Thro' nature felt, makes all her pow'rs rejoice,
And fills the soul with harmony, and bliss
Extatic.---When joy tumultuous revels
In the swelling breast, then thou, sweet music,
Majestically smooth, and soft as zephyrs,
. . .[30 lines]
Thy name, O Fyring, thy deserving name
Shall shine conspicuous in the roll of fame;----
. . .[2 lines, signed] C.W.P.
* Mr. Fyring is a German by birth, but has, for some years
past, practised the making of musical instruments
(particularly spinnets and harpsicords) in this city, with
great repute.
