On those first joys, we shall be happy yet.
Each on the other must in all depend,
The kind adviser, the unfailing friend;
Through the rough world we must each other aid,
Leading and led, obeying and obey’d;
Favour’d and favouring, eager to believe
What should be truth—unwilling to perceive 430
What might offend—determined to remove }
What has offended, wisely to improve }
What pleases yet, and guard returning love. }
