Ode On Classic Discipline.
VI . Patient care , by just degrees , Word and image learns to class ; Couples those , discriminates these , As in strict review they pass : Joins , as varying features strike , Apt to apt ; and like to like : Till in meet array advance .
Concord , method , elegance ! vii . Time meanwhile , from day to day , Fixes deeper virtue's root ; Whence , in long succession gay , Blossoms many a lively fruit : Meek obedience / following still , Frank , and glad , a wiser will !
Modest candour , hearing prone , Every judgment—save its own ! VIII . Emulation ! whose keen eye , Forward still , and forward strains ; Nothing ever deeming high , Where a higher hope remains ! Shame ingenuous , native , free , Source of manly dignity ! Zeal , impartial to pursue Ilight and just , and good and true !
IX . These , and every kindred grace , More and more perfection gain ; While attention loves to trace Grave record , or lofty strain ; Noting , how in virtue's pride Sages liv'd ; and heroes died ! Conscious , how in virtue's cause . Genius gave , andclaim'd applause !
x . Thus with early culture blest , Thus to early toil inttr'd , Infancy ' s expanding breast Glows with sense and powers matur'd ; Whence if future efforts raise / Moral , social , civil praise ; Thine is all th' effect—be thi :: e The glory—Classic Discipline !
