PRINTED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF J. BELL, BRITISH LIBRARY, STRAND, BOOKSELLER TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES.

These are the sacred feelings of thy heart,
Thy heart, inform'd by Reason's purer ray,
O LYTTELTON the friend !----------
Oft' conducted by Historick Truth

You tread the long extent of backward time,
Planning with warm benevolence of mind
And honest zeal unwarp'd by party-rage
Britannia's weal, how from the venal gulf
To raise her virtue and her arts revive;

Or turning thence thy view these graver thoughts
The Muses charm, while with sure taste refin'd
You draw th' inspiring breath of ancient song
Till nobly rises emulous thy own.

THOMSON'S SUMMER.
