LyicsLO! wisdom stands with smiling face,
And courts us to her arms;
Who can resist the wond'rous grace,
And slight her pow'rful charms?
She, gen'rous, holds out to our sight,
Riches which shall endure;
Not 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.
