"Oh! cou'd we live, to hail the future Day, / When sparkling Folly shall give Genius way; / When low, light, Scenes shall tempt the Eye, in vain; / And Passion's Power impress the Heart, again; / Then shall the Muses, like their Monarch, smile, / And all Heaven's Blessings crown his happy Isle!"

— Hill, Aaron (1685-1750)
