TOMAS DE IRIARTE.

This lesson I write, my friends to incite;

Their talents, however great,
That they must study with them unite,
To duly cultivate.

The Flint gives light with the help of the Steel,
And study alone will talent reveal;
For neither suffice if found apart,
Whatever the talent or the art.
