Whilst I rehearse:
Bind round my head the bays,
My humble genius raise,
And teach me how to praise
Blackett, in verse.
Hard is the task impos’d,
Glorious the end propos’d;
Hark! it succeeds:
Heaven would surely frown,
And with contempt look down,
Whilst I rehearse:
Bind round my head the bays,
My humble genius raise,
And teach me how to praise
Blackett, in verse.
Hard is the task impos’d,
Glorious the end propos’d;
Hark! it succeeds:
Heaven would surely frown,
And with contempt look down,
