Are the first at our weakness to sneer.

Then should not gladly, with candour receive,

The advice which affection bestows;

For sincerity rarely we meet with in life,

Few will aid us, but numbers oppose.

As to you, I am bound by the dearest of ties,

My sister, as well as my friend:

No undue command did I mean to usurp,

Nor ever design to offend.

Then let us united in harmony live,
