Where’er I roam, whatever realms to see,

My heart untravell’d fondly turns to thee;

Still to my brother turns, with ceaseless pain,

And drags at each remove a lengthening chain. 10

Eternal blessings crown my earliest friend,

And round his dwelling guardian saints attend:

Blest be that spot, where cheerful guests retire

To pause from toil, and trim their evening fire;

Blest that abode, where want and pain repair, 15

And every stranger finds a ready chair;
