To the Sons of Apollo.
Go on, Bright Youths, quit not the glorious toil,
But with delightful wit our anxious cares beguile:
Let sprightly fancy sparkle in each line,
And new discoveries deck with new design;
Whilst sportful nature closely you pursue,
And as she flies, your artful search renew;
Tho' in wild lab'rynths intricate she strays,
And forms her great designs a thousand various ways;
The thickest gloom of night the goddess hides,
And rude access, to vulgar eyes derides;
Yet to the wife, with godlike genius born,
She will unvail and shew her wondrous form;
Nor mind poor harmless Beaux of modern cast,
Nor Critics meagre with black envy's blait;
For these are Forc'd to damn, what they want
Force to taste,
