Trace Justice’ path, and choose their chiefs divine;
On Freedom’s base erect the heavenly plan.
Teach laws to reign, and save the Rights of Man.
Then smiling Art shall wrap the fields in bloom,
Fine the rich ore, and guide the useful loom;
Then lofty towers in golden pomp arise,
Then spiry cities meet auspicious skies;
The soul on Wisdom’s wing sublimely soar,
New virtues cherish and new truths explore;
Through Time’s long tract our name celestial run,
