U nique thy eloquence of pen and tongue;

R ome’s Tully loftier flights could scarce command,

K indling thy soul to thoughts that matchless stand

E ver sublime and beautiful and grand.

HUBER.

H ow keen thy vision, e’en though reft of sight!

U sing with double power the mind’s clear light:

B ees, and their hives, thy curious ken has scanned.

E ach cell, with geometric wisdom planned,

R ich stores of honeyed knowledge thus at thy command.
