PHCEBUS, meaner themes difiaining,
To the Ivrift's call repair,
To the lyrift's call repair :
And, the firings to rapture flraining,
Come and praife the Britifh fair !
And, the firings to rapture ftraining,
Come and praife the Britifh fair !
And praife the Britifh fair !
Chiefs, throughout the land victorious,.
Born to conquer and to fpare,
Were not gallant, were not glorious,
Ti)l commanded by the fair !
All the works of worth or merit,
Which the fons of art prepare,
Have no pleafure, life, or fpirit,
But as bofrovv'd from the fair.
Reafon is as weak as paflion ;
But, if you for truth declare,
Worth and manhood are the fafhion,
Favour'd by the Britifh fair.
