What kindly spells of keen effect
His energy of Heart recall?
Perchance there is no spell so strong
As friendship’s sympathetic song:
By fancy link’d in a fraternal band,
Artist and Bard in sweet alliance stand;
They suffer equal wounds, and mutual aid demand.
Go then, to slighted worth devote
Thy willing verse, my fearless Muse;
Haply thy free and friendly note
