Alice Tully (11 September 1902 – 10 December 1993) was an American singer of opera and recital, music promoter, patron of the arts and philanthropist. [For her birth date I have chosen to follow Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians (8th ed.), rather than Wikipedia, which gives the 14th.)

Sing praises to her, do not sully
This day by exalting her dully!
And praise one and all
The eponymous hall
That was built by the late Alice Tully.

A Panegyrick on the Late Lamented William Boyce
Raise your voice!
Rejoice! Rejoice!
And sing the praise of William Boyce!
Sing, oh sing
For God and King!
Let the very rafters ring!
Let the choir
Find the fire
That his choral hymns require!
Or invoke
His masterstroke,
The stirring naval “Heart of Oak”!
Take any sample
For your example,
His oeuvre, like his girth, was ample!
