• Blest be the gracious Power, who taught mankind
  To stamp a lasting image of the mind!
  Beasts may convey, and tuneful birds may sing,
  Their mutual feelings, in the opening spring;
  But Man alone has skill and power to send
  The heart's warm dictates to the distant friend;
  'Tis his alone to please, instruct, advise
  Ages remote, and nations yet to rise.
