Of man alone, that particle divine,
Escapes the wreck of worlds, when all things fail.

Hail, blooming Youth!
May all your virtues with your years improve,
Till in consummate worth you shine the pride
Of these our days, and succeeding times
A bright example.

O'er half the skies, gems pave thy radiant way,
And orient pearls from ev'ry shrub depend.
