POE EM

Sacred to the MEMORY of

Sir ISAAC NEWTΟΝ.

S

Inscribed to the RIGHT HONOURABLE

Sir ROBERT WALPOLE.

HALL the great foul of NEWTON quit this earth,
To mingle with his stars; and ev'ry Muse,

Astonish'd into filence, shun the weight

Of honours due to his illustrious name?

But what can man?-Ev'n now the fons of light, 5

In strains high-warbled to feraphic lyre,

Hail his arrival on the coast of blifs.

Yet am not I deterr'd, tho' high the theme,
And fung to harps of angels, for with you,
Ethereal flames! ambitious, I afpire
In nature's general symphony to join.

And what new wonders can ye show your guest!

Who, while on this dim spot, where mortals toil
