- Go on, dear youth, deep learning's path pursue, / And keep her golden treasures still in view, / Search with attention for the shining ore, / Its latent qualities with care explore / Learn all their diff'rent properties and use, / And gain the depth of subjects most abstruse. / Fair science is the clue by which we find . / Th' intricate lab'rinth of the human mind. / Peruse great nature's book and her wise laws, / And in its page trace the creative cause / this will expand and animate thy hopes / When systems fail, or high exalted tropes / With caution fix, and choose the better part / Ever maintain integrity of heart / Let sympathetic feeling urge the strong / To acts of kindness, never in the wrong. / Be this the structure of thy future plan, / And dedicate to god the temple-man! / Amelia Beloe Finish d A D 1812 //
