For [1]you the blooming Ivy grows,
Proud to adorn your learned Brows;
Patron of Letters you arise,
Grow to a God, and mount the Skies.
Proud to adorn your learned Brows;
Patron of Letters you arise,
Grow to a God, and mount the Skies.
Humbly in breezy Shades I stray
Where Silvans dance, and Satyrs play;
Contented to advance my Claim,
Only o'er Men without a Name;
Transcribing what the Muses sing
Harmonious to the Pipe or String.

But if indulgently you deign
To rank me with the Lyric Train,
Aloft the tow'ring Muse shall rise
On bolder Wings, and gain the Skies.
