Companion Of each lonely hour,
Through every change, I love thee still,
IT'S thine to soothe affections power,

Whenc'er my hearts with grief Oppressed,
IT'S then my jetty tears distill
Thou ealm'st the tumults Of my breast,
Ny dearest Quill.
Thou slender, dear, bewitching thing,
Tho thou no charm TO others show,
Yet l the pleasures thou canst bring,
Can ne'er forego.
There's not a friend / yet have known,
In whom like thee l can conhde,
The secrets that to thee are shown,
None know beside.
Through tho remainder of my days,
With joys my vacant moments FIJI,
Aud nay we both in virtues ways,
BE guided still.
When in my service thou'rt grown old,
And 1 have ceasedthy guide TO be,
Whom may some partial friend behold
