And John’s acknowledgments were not neglected.
Congratulations flowed from all around—
Such follows favour, whensoe’er it’s found.
What ever Way he did his Footsteps bend,
Johnny was sure to meet a hearty Friend.
I’m High in Luck, such Friendships do accrue me—
‘But when I was Sub, why no one knew me.’
For John full well knew where the secret lay—
Those were the Friendships of a Prosperous Day.
Prosperity, like Poverty, you’ll find.
