What cannot art and industry perform,

When science plans the progress of their toil!

They smile at penury, disease, and storm;

And oceans from their mighty mounds recoil.

When tyrants scourge, or demagogues embroil

A land, or when the rabble's headlong rage

Order transforms to anarchy and spoil;

Deep vers'd in man, the philosophic sage

Prepares with lenient hand their frenzy t' assuage;

Tis he alone, whose comprehensive mind,

From situation, temper, soil, and clime

Explor'd, a nation's various pow'rs can bind,

And various orders, in one form sublime

Of polity, that 'midst the wrecks of time,

Secure shall lift its head on ligh, nor fear

Th' assault of foreign or domestic crime,

While public faith, and public love sincere,

And industry and law maintain their sway severe. Beattle.
