Say, did you not all pleasures find,
10
Of which you left so few behind?
I think you did: for well I know
My parting prayer would make it so.
"May she," I said, "life's choicest goods partake;
Those, late in life, for nobler still forsake—
The bliss of one, th' esteem'd of many live,
With all that Friendship would, and all that Love can give!"
