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,
Thy voice assuasive to the heart apply'st:
. . . [34 more lines, mentioning the maker, Fyring.]
* Mr. Fyring is a German by birth, but has, for some years
past, practiced the making of musical instruments
(particularly spinnets and harpsicords) in this city, with
great repute.
