    Inspire me o ye Powers which are holy
    Enliven my spirit with thine
    For I am dejected and lonely
    Oh grant me that favour divine
    To sing of a scene so enchanting
    Where Rasselus might live without pain
    And not that for beauty is wanting
    To saunter through Bellevue Demesne.

    Are adding more grace to the lawn
    Grazing all around are the gay flocks
