For names like these, a Bard divine, The wreath poetic, should entwine. Those, then, I leave ; this latter day Boasts names, whose ornamental ray, Excels the prowess of my lay. Vol. Ii. I 118 THE RIVAL ROSES. Pope shines the Homer of his age, AnA Dryden's vies with Virgil's page ; While Bacon, Milton, Newton, stand, A host divine, to grace the land; With Addison, whose classic style, Polished the language of our isle. An orator, we, Chatham, own, Demosthenes, he far out-shone ; While Pitt, the ...great, the wise, the good, A Cicero, in the Senate, stood. Long may the art Caxtonian live ! And, to our land, due honor give ; Yes ! ever let this matchless art, Britannia's noble deeds impart; THE RIVAL ROSES. 119 And ever may my country's claim, Be Glory, Honor, Virtue, Fame. Still may it be its task, to trace, Bright annals of the Brunswick Race ; Nor e'er such direful deeds disclose, As now, the page historic, shews, In records of each Rival Rose. l 3 THE RIVAL ROSES. 121 NOTES TO CANTO THE FIFTH.
