O Thou whose Virtues sanctify thy State,
O Great, without the Vices of the Great!
Form'd by a Dignity of Mind to please,
To think, to act with Elegance and Ease!
Say, wilt thou listen while I tune the String,
And sing to thee, who gav'st me ease to sing?
O Great, without the Vices of the Great!
Form'd by a Dignity of Mind to please,
To think, to act with Elegance and Ease!
Say, wilt thou listen while I tune the String,
And sing to thee, who gav'st me ease to sing?
Unskill'd
