CONCHOLOGY 



II. 



Behold beneath, around, above, 

 Proofs of immeasurable love. 



Illimitable powers ; 

 Those powers the host of Heaven illume, 

 And give the summer's varied bloom. 

 Its treasury of sweet perfume, 



Its fascinating flowers. 



III. 



Still may thy lore, Oh Linne ! charm, 

 Still with the love of science warm 



The young, the gay, the wise , 

 Still may the treasures of thy page, 

 Give youth a charm, and solace age. 

 And oft retirement's hour engage, 



And sorrows tranquillize.
