Tis Nature's voice

'Tis Nature's Voice; thro' all the moving Wood

Of Creatures understood:

The Universal Tongue to none

Of all her num'rous Race unknown.

From her it learnt the mighty Art

To court the Ear or strike the Heart;

At once the Passions to express and move;

We hear, and stright we grieve or hate, rejoice or love;

In unseen Chains it does the Fancy bind;

At once it charms the Sense and capivates the Mind.
