As on the blissful fields Musaeus stood
The center of the happy throng, so here
Did Sloane with gracious dignity preside
And liven converse with his fluent speech;
A teacher all his days, he yet found time
To fill a shelf with his own histories
Of many volumes—see yon massive tome—
Old Plutarch would have loved and envied him.
