Whom as companions honour’d he rewards,

And not as slaves abased a lord regards.

There agriculture flourish you will see;

Public instruction is promoted free;

The arts extended rapidly and wide;

And these among, in culture and esteem,

That with which Orpheus tamed the furious pride

Of forest beasts, and cross’d the Lethe’s stream:

There all the tales of wonderful effect,

Of music’s art divine, with which are deck’d
