By aught that occasi oned pang of regret,
Oh, let them in darkest oblivion be shrouded;
Ills wise and tits kind to forgive and forget
Let bygones be bygones, and good be extracted
From ills over which it is folly to fret
The wisest of moftals have foolishly acted
The kindest are those who forgive and forget.
Let bygones be bygones; oh, cherish no longer
The thought that the sun of affection has set
Eclipsed for moment, Its rays will be stronger
If you, like Christian, forgive and forget.
Let bygoncs be bygones; your heart will be lighter
When kindness of yours with reception has met;
The flame of your love will be purer and brighter,
If, God-like, you strive to forgive and forget.
Let bygones be bygones: oh, purge out the leayen
OF malice, and try an example to set
To others, who, craving the mercy OF heaven,
Are sadly too slew to forgive and forget.

To heavens forbearance we all are in debit
They value Gods infinite goodness too cheaply
