Beneath these walls, what various scenes conspire To dart heroic ardour through the soul: Britannia's genius aids the kindling fire And bids her thunders o'er the fancy roll. But while the nations meet in hostile arms And high th'imperial banners wave in war, Let varied science here display her charms And weave fresh garlands for the victor's car.
