The radiant chariot of the day, and bind

To his young brows his own all-dazzling wreath.

I, therefore, although last and least, my place

Among the learned in the laurel grove 125

Will hold, and where the conqueror's ivy twines,

Henceforth exempt from the unlettered throng

Profane, nor even to be seen by such.

Away then, sleepless Care, Complaint away,

And Envy, with thy 'jealous leer malign!' 130

Nor let the monster Calumny shoot forth
