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

_Candid_, fair.
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.
