'Now, Bavius, take the poppy from thy brow, And place it here! here, all ye heroes, bow!This, this is he, foretold by ancient rhymes:Th' Augustus born to bring Saturnian times. 320Signs following signs lead on the mighty year!See! the dull stars roll round and re-appear. See, see, our own true Phoebus wears the bays!Our Midas sits Lord Chancellor of Plays!On poets' tombs see Benson's titles writ![377]Lo! Ambrose Philips[378] is preferr'd for wit!See under Ripley rise a new Whitehall, While Jone...s' and Boyle's united labours fall;[379]While Wren with sorrow to the grave descends, Gay dies unpension'd with a hundred friends; 330Hibernian politics, O Swift! thy fate;And Pope's, ten years to comment and translate.
'Proceed, great days! till Learning fly the shore, Till Birch shall blush with noble blood no more, Till Thames see Eton's sons for ever play, Till Westminster's whole year be holiday, Till Isis' elders reel, their pupils sport, And Alma Mater lie dissolved in port!' Enough! enough!
