Egerton Leigh, Baronet, Grand Master, &c.&c.&c. Set to

Recitative.
Behold the social band appears,
Imparting Joy, dispelling fears,
And wak'd by duty, and by choice,
Command the sons of freedom to rejoice.

Boast not, mortals, human skill,
If the sculptur'd dome you raise,
Works of art, by fancy's will,
Lead us oft through folly's maze.
