Classic Poem

Take care oh Muse! this tow'ring Height review;

I grant 'tis noble, yet presumptuous too:
Compute thy utmost Powers first, and know
Thou wert not made to fly,
But humbly creep below.
Quell then thy Airy Hopes, nor vainly try
Beyond the Sphere of thy Activity.
Remember him, who gave the Sea a Name,
Nor aim too high, left thou descend with Shame.
Ambitious Muse! what can'st thou say,
Resolute still? " Tes,
" Mountague and thy Genius lead the Way.
Well, since so positive, thy Flight pursue,
And sing the great, the illustrious Mountague.
Shew how the Pow'rs adorn'd his gen'rous Birth,
And with a new Meccnas, blest the barren Earth.
