444. TO HIS PECULIAR FRIEND, MR. THOMAS SHAPCOTT, LAWYER.

I've paid thee what I promis'd; that's not all; Besides I give thee here a verse that shall (When hence thy circ.u.mmortal part is gone), Arch-like, hold up thy name's inscription.

Brave men can't die, whose candid actions are Writ in the poet's endless calendar: Whose vellum and whose volume is the sky, And the pure stars the praising poetry.

Farewell

445. TO JULIA IN THE TEMPLE.

Besides us two, i' th' temple here's not one To make up now a congregation.

Let's to the altar of perfumes then go, And say short prayers; and when we have done so, Then we shall see, how in a little s.p.a.ce Saints will come in to fill each pew and place.

446. TO OENONE.

What conscience, say, is it in thee, When I a heart had one, To take away that heart from me, And to retain thy own?

For shame or pity now incline To play a loving part; Either to send me kindly thine, Or give me back my heart.

Covet not both; but if thou dost Resolve to part with neither, Why! yet to show that thou art just, Take me and mine together.

447. HIS WEAKNESS IN WOES.

I cannot suffer; and in this my part Of patience wants. _Grief breaks the stoutest heart._

448. FAME MAKES US FORWARD.

To print our poems, the propulsive cause Is fame--the breath of popular applause.

449. TO GROVES.
