   Early! Early as the eastern dawn
   Ere sol assumed to illume your spangled lawn.
   Once more by Mars I was Marillines hurdled,
   A wandering out Cast in this narrow world.
   I was teaching the pupils to survey the plain
   To cast a plumb to plough the distant main
   To Scan Great Newton's works and Nature's laws
   Any by the effect produce the hidden cause
   Credit no slanders or circumventing tales
   Against my former credit railed
   For its well known by my assiduous care
   That the pane of Glass was never broken there
   Till the Northeren rough Militia came
   And wrecked the sash of the window frame.
   How can I hinder people of the line
   Or am I to suffer a fault not mine
   My little pupils were dispersed away
   Like bees without a hive in a stormy Winter's day.
   Or in the town can I find the meanest shed
   From wintry blasts to hide my shrinking head
   I hope your honour will disarm
   And quell the envy of this false alarm.
   May you long enjoy and your wealth increase
   In virtue prosperity dignity and Grace,
   Until an ant embibes the unboundless seas.
   To which John Collins humbly prays.
