Lyrics: Anon

Applaud so great a guest, celestial powers,
Who now resides with you, but once was ours.
Let invidious Earth no more reclaim
Her short-lived favourite and her chiefest fame
Complaining that so prematurely died
Good nature's pleasure and devotion's pride.
Died! No he lives while yonder organs sound,
And sacred echoes to the choir rebound,
