God shall assuage thy pangs—when I am laid in dust!

XXX.

“Go, Henry, go not back, when I depart,

The scene thy bursting tears too deep will move,

Where my dear father took thee to his heart,

And Gertrude thought it ecstasy to rove

With thee, as with an angel, through the grove

Of peace, imagining her lot was cast

In heaven; for ours was not like earthly love.

And must this parting be our very last?
