V.
The wifdotn of Greece and old Rome we explore,
Nay pafs to the learn’d of the Memphian fliore.
' What fecrets Euphrates and Tigris have known.
And Paleftine gather’d, are here made our own.
Well may the world wonder what ftrange things
we lee.
With the man that is own’d for a mafon and free.
VI.
Tho’ the fair from our rites are for ever debarr’d.
Ah, ladies ! repent not, nor cenfure too hard;
You have no rivals here, not ev’n in glafs,
Where fribbles Co dote on the lhade of an als.
Your own deareft pictures, our hearts, could you fee.
Would be found in the man that’s a mafon and free.
VII.
The brighteft: of graces with virtue here join.
No fuch angel-looks in the drawing-room Ihine.
Bleft’d Concord and eagle-ey’d Truth hover round.
And, face to face, Friendlhip fays, fee the bowl
crown’d:
Here’s a health, let it pafs with the number of three,
To the man that is own’d for a mafon and free.

HOW happy a malbn ! whole bolbm Hill flows
With friendlhip, and ever moft cheerfully goes;
Th’ effetts of the myfteries lodg’d in his breaft,
Myft’ries rever’d, and by princes pofleft.
