Then noble Sandys, inspir’d with great design, 65

Rear’d Hawkshead’s happy roof, and call’d it mine;

There have I loved to show the tender age

The golden precepts of the classic page;

To lead the mind to those Elysian plains

Where, throned in gold, immortal Science reigns; 70

Fair to the view is sacred Truth display’d,

In all the majesty of light array’d,

To teach, on rapid wings, the curious soul

To roam from heaven to heaven, from pole to pole,
