• Golden volumes! richest treasures,
  Objects of delicious pleasures!
  You my eyes rejoicing please,
  You my hand in rapture seize!
  Brilliant wits and musing sages,
  Lights who beam'd through many ages!
  Left to your conscious leaves their story,
  And dared to trust you with their glory;
  And now their hope of fame achiev'd,
  Dear volumes! you have not deceived!
