  How long, great poet, shall thy sacred lays Here Gallic labours shall advance thy fame, Shall view thy battles, and with pleasure read And, as thou sing''st thy God, teach us to sing of thee; Turn every line with art, and smooth thy verse; Muse, tune thy verse with art to Waller''s praise. Let nations, anxious for thy life, abate Thy daring art shall animate the dead, The gods, in pity, shall contract thy date, ''Then keep thy seat for ever!'' cries the god, ''Bright youth,'' she cries, ''whom all thy features prove Thy inborn worth with conscious eyes shall see, And long preserve thy art in thee,) Must, like thy tutor, blood pursue. So shall you grow like man polite.'' To crown thy life with length of days? ''Know,'' says the man, ''though proud in place, Stretched on the ground; thy kennel shall appear Puzzling is lost, and all thy art is vain.
