See! Oxford lifts her Head fublime,
Majestic in the Mofs of Time;

Nor wants there Gracia's better Part,

'Mid the proud Piles of ancient Art;

Nor decent Doric to dispense

New Charms 'mid old Magnificence;

And here and there soft Corinth weaves

Her dædal Coronet of Leaves;

While, as with rival Pride, her Tow'rs invade the Sky.
