AN ODE ON SCIENCE. by Dr. Swift.
Oh heav'nly born! in deepest cells
If fairest science ever dwells
Beneath the mossy cave;
. . . [36 lines]
Ierne bear on azure wing:
Energic let her soar, and sing
  Thy aniversal sway.
So when Amphion bade the lyre
To more majestic sound aspire,
  Behold the madding throng,
In wonder and oblivion drown'd,
To sculpture turn'd by magic sound,
  And petrifying song.
