WE

HEN genuine Merit claims the Mufe's Praise,
The Bard enraptur'd tunes the grateful Lays;
Delighted fings, nor ever fings in vain,

As full convinc'd the wifh'd Applause to gain.
Such Praise while you fuch noble Paths pursue,
Such juft Applaufe are to thy Labour due.
A glorious Tafk! The unexperienc'd Youth,
Tinftruct in Virtue, and the Paths of Truth.
With artless Tales to warn their early Years,
To fhun the present Ills, and future Cares;
To trace the Way, and all those Paths explore,
That lead to Learning's inexhauftlefs Store:
A Theme fo Good, a Theme fo truly Great,
That quite exalts, and makes the Work compleat.
To Dyche we owe a great, a noble Plan :
In Dilworth fhines confeft the ingenious Man:
In both whate'er is useful, now we fee
Made perfect, and compleated full by Thee.
Thy skilful Hand the rugged Ore refines,
And Language ftill in more Perfection fhines.
O may thy Precepts every Youth inflame,

With Thirst of Knowledge, and the Love of Fame :
And thus inflam'd conduct a glorious Plan,
Till virtuous Deeds confirm the honeft Man.

N. B. I advise all Mafters and Miftreffes never to let a Child know there are two i's, or two u's, but let them learn the Child to call the long j [ja] and the fharp v [vee], for it is much better in every Respect.
