On the dark mind to pour instruction’s ray,
The paths of science to extend and smooth,
And wide diffuse the genial light of truth;
These were his objects, these his noble pride;
For these he labour’d, and for these he died.
And ye whose virtuous efforts here combine
To cultivate those faculties divine,
Friendship and Science breathe a deeper sigh—
He was your brother by a dearer tie:
With you he trod the same delightful road;
