Of all the virtues, and the vices left;

Whom piety and beauty make their boast,

Though beautiful is well in pious lost;

So lost as star-light is dissolved away,

And melts into the brightness of the day;

Or gold about the royal diadem,

Lost, to improve the lustre of the gem,—

What can we add to your triumphant day?

Let the great gift the beauteous giver pay;
