And chase from thy bosom each phantom Of ar,
Haunting its fairy dominons.

The spirit ofplcasurc returning,
And Joy will sndlc within thy pure soul,
flame that can never cease burning.
May the ivy of friendship. around thy heart

Pcrfurncd with the breath ofcontcntnent swcot'
Across thy bosom stealing,
