To those ideas your own thoughts present;

Your only gain from turning volumes o'er,

Is finding cause to like yourself the more:

In Grecian sages you are only taught

With more respect to value your own thought:

Great Tully grew immortal, while he drew

Those precepts we behold alive in you:

Your life is so adjusted to their schools,

It makes that history they meant for rules.

What joy, what pleasing transport, must arise
