Vos Cæsarem altum, militia simul Pierio recreatis antro. Hor. BELLO solutum Patria Cæsarem, In requiem titulosque pompa : En ille Patrum concilio gravi, Paciferæ tegit umbra frontem. Sic, dum triumphans, auspice te, bona Sceptra gerens, equitat per æquor; Te nunc salutis præsidium suæ Diæ Sacerdos hæc Sapientiæ, D Ceu pura Vestæ serva, resuscitat Usque fovet Pietatis aram. Intaminatis militiæ simul Fastis repostos fronde sacra duces Pieridum recreat sub umbra. His arma figens tu penetralibus Ipse decus, celebrande, famæ Gaudes vocari. Te precibus tui Delubra, doctrinæque puros Auspiciis tueare fontes Quid Marte possis, liber ab hostibus Consilio meliore Patres. Te sensit, arcem prospiciens tuis Tu, cum procellæ turbine Gallica Bello retorsisti furorem, Terribili domitum triumpho. Immotus idem, justitia duce, Et populum scelus infrementem. Hac arte, fractis victor ab hostibus, Post cineres tumulumque, fama. GEORGE TICKELL, BALLIOL. Marshal, demand of yonder Champion Shakespear. DEAR to the warrior is the proud array But holier, sweeter far, the tranquil bliss Breath'd o'er his spirit in an hour like this; When from his brow the helm is laid aside, Moves not that peaceful throng his spirit more roar? Welcome! thrice welcome! to our festive hallThe breast that aye was bar'd at Honour's call Should shine in Honour's garb-the arm that drew Stern Freedom's brand, should share her beauty too! Welcome! what other gift can Learning bring? What wreath unworn is left her yet to fling? |
