Lyics

LO! WISDOM stands with smiling face,

And courts us to her arms!

Who can resist the wondrous grace,

And slight her pow'rful charms?



She, gen'rous, holds out to our sight

Riches which shall endure;

Nor sparkling rubies half so bright,

Nor finest gold so pure.



Eternal pleasures fill her train,

Pleasures that never cloy;

Come, drink of bliss unmix'd with pain,

And taste celestial joy.



Immortal crowns she now displays,

And thrones beyond the skies;

Accept her blessings while she stays,

And seize the glorious prize.
