“ Some information of the Arts convey;
For whilst, with rapture fraught, they this explore,
And view such sights as ne'er were seen before,
Some Circumnavigators may, ere long,
Hear Birmingham extoll’d in Savage Song;
And when some progress in the Arts they've made,
Can tell who form'd the Hoe, the Axe, the Spade;
Or when their great utility they feel,
And learn the use of Iron and of Steel,
In extacy, may cry, enrapt with wonder,
'Dese English make de Guns dat roar like tunder ”
