      Panegyrical Poem

      DEDICATED

      TO THE HONORABLE

      THE LADY ANN COKE,

      OF

      HOLKHAM HALL.

      BY PHILO.

      "So be it mine to touch the sounding string,

      The Friend, the Patriot, and the Man to sing,

      And though unused to raise the tuneful song,

      The mighty theme shall make my numbers strong;

      Bright truth shall guide me like the solar rays,

      Illume my darkness and direct my praise!

      Inspire each thought and breathe in ev’ry line,

      And grace my Eulogy with rays divine;

      And, while I paint the scene, the fact recite,

      Still burst upon me in a blaze of light."
