And like this day, serene, but cold;

To foes well wishing, and to friends most kind,

In perfect charity with all mankind.

For what remains I must desire,

To use the words of Matthew Prior.

Let this my will be well obey'd,

And farewell all, I'm not afraid,

For what avails a struggling sigh.

When soon, or later, all must die?

M. DARLEY."
