scription
written on the bnk leaf of a py of the st edition of y poes, presented to the dy who, any fictitio reveries of passion, but with the ost ardent sentints of real friendship, i have often sung under the na of—“chloris”
&039;tis friendship&039;s pled, y young, fair friend,
nor thou the gift refe,
nor with unwillg ear attend
the oralisg e
sce thou, all thy youth and chars,
t bid the world adieu,
(a world &039;gast peace nstant ars)
to jo the friendly few
sce, thy gay orn of life o&039;ercast,
chill ca the tepest&039;s lour;
(and ne&039;er isfortune&039;s eastern bst
did nip a fairer flower)
sce life&039;s gay scenes t char no ore,
still uch is left behd,
still nobler wealth hast thou store—
the forts of the d!
the is the self-approvg glow,
of nscio honour&039;s part;
and (dearest gift of heaven below)
the friendship&039;s truest heart
the joys ref&039;d of sense and taste,
with every e to rove:
and doubly were the poet blest,
these joys uld he iprove
