Friendship.

FRIENDSHIP.

FRiendship is a Bliss Divine, And does with radiant Lustre shine: But where can that blest Pair be found That are with equal Fetters bound? Whose Hearts are one, whose Souls combine, And neither know or Mine, or Thine; Who've but one Joy, one Grief, one Love, And by the self same Dictates move; Who've not a Frailty unreveal'd, Nor yet a Thought that is conceal'd; Who freely one another blame, And strive to raise each other's Fame; Who're always just, sincere, and kind, By Virtue, not by Wealth, combin'd; Whose Friendship nothing can abate, Nor Poverty, nor adverse Fate, Nor Death it self: for when above, They'll never, never, cease to love, But with a Passion more refin'd, Become one pure celestial Mind.
