“ To study culture, and with useful toil 
To meliorate and tame the stubborn soil ; 
To give dissimilar, yet fruitful lands, 
The grain, or herb, or plant that each demands; 
To mark the matchless workings of the power, 
That shoots within the seed of future flower, 
Bids these in elegance of form excel, 
In colour these, and these delight the smell, 
Sends nature forth, the daughter of the skies, 
To dance on earth and charm all human eyes ; 
These, these are arts pursued without a crime 
That leave no stain upon the wings of time.”
