Conquer Hearts?
Metaphor in Context
Pleas'd we see, O! Goddess, there
Helpless Innocence thy Care,
By thy Vot'rys call'd to Life,
Rescued from the bloody Knife,
From a painful State of Sin,
From the Pangs of Guilt within:
Plac'd by thee in Virtue's Cell,
With the Cherub Health they dwell,
By Industry's careful Hand
Render'd useful to the Land,
By Religion taught to know
What to thee and Heav'n they owe.
Rescued from an early Grave
Many fair, and many brave,
May in these and future Days
Conquer Hearts and merit Praise.
Blakes and Russels yet unborn
May the British Deck adorn,
And, in Arts of Tillage wise,
Hence may Columellas rise.
