This relic, generous owner! spare

To Needwood’s earliest poet’s prayer:

So prosper here thy fair designs;

So Beauty lend thee her own lines;

So here all social Pleasures throng;

And sweet Enjoyment flourish long.

Revered Swilcar![[89]] kingly Oak!

Ill spar’d from thee th’ assassin’s stroke.

How brilliant was thy sylvan court!

Of sons and subjects proud resort;
