SENT WITH A CHOICE COLLECTION OF BOOKS .
Though , gentle youth! thy calm untainted mind
Be like a morning in the Spring serene,
Time may commit the passions unconfin'd
To the rude rigour of a noontide reign.
Then in the morn of placid life be wise,
And travel through the groves of science soon;
There cull the plants of virtue, that may rise
A peaceful shelter from that sultry noon.
