Yes, social friend, love thee well,
In learned doctors spite:
Hove thy fragrant, misty spell,
love thy calm delight.
And when at midnight's lonely hour,
Attended but by thee,
O'er history's varied page pore,
Mans fate in thee [ see.
Awhile, like thee, the hero burns,
And frets and fumes around,
And then, like thee, TO ashes turns,
And mingles with the ground.
And while thy lengthen'd column grows,
And break and falls away,
trace how Empires thus have rose
Thus tunbled to de :ay.
From beggars' rags to monarchs' robe,
One common doom is passed;
Sweet Natures works, the mighty globe,
Must all burn out at last.
And what is he hat smokes thee, now,
A little moving heap,
That soon, like thee, TO fats must bow
Like thee, In dust must sleep.
And while see thy smoke roll high,
Thy ashes downward go;

Thus leave my body low. w. III.
