Nothing so cheap and vulgar but can please,

And borrow beauties from his late disease.

Nor is it peace alone, but such a peace,

As more than bids the rage of battle cease.

Death may determine war, and rest succeed,

'Cause nought survives on which our rage may feed:

In faithful friends we lose our glorious foes,

And strifes of love exalt our sweet repose.

See graceful Bolingbroke, your friend, advance,

Nor miss his Lansdowne in the court of France;
