It was later published in total in The Harmonicon:
Just to the gifts of vocalization the powers divine
Accept joined the winning charm of form and face up;
Resolv'd a two-fold conquest should be thine,
Past song to charm u.s., and subdue by grace.
Unlike the transient charmers of the twenty-four hours
Thy retentiveness shall not lightly laissez passer abroad,
Nor from our mind thy class and talent role:
When long, long years take fled, in memory'due south ear
Thy tones of melting sweet shall we hear,
Thy vox persuasive, speaking to the centre.[4]
