Can we not prize the godlike and the true Which Art and Science open to our view ? Let Hist'ry answer from her teeming page ; Answer the records, kept from age to age Of mightier ones than heroes, princely, great, - Not props alone, but rulers of the state ; Not friends alone to genius, but possessed Of intellectual powers, the noblest, best.
25 Answer yourselves ! Instruction's youthful friends On whom the city's future weal depends. Why have you fixed amid the homes of trade A learned retreat..., an Academic shade? Why, at your kind command, year after year, Do sages speak, and numbers throng to hear ? From you, thus raised above the sordid thought That man's chief good in money must be sought, Even poets, reckless as they are of fame, A gen'rous feeling for their art may claim. And yet some reasons have we to deplore That the bright reign of Poetry is o'er ; That in her fav'rite haunts no more she roves, But dwells secluded in deep, sombre groves, In caves forlorn, rude glens and deserts wild, By foaming floods and rocks in ruin piled.
