PART IV. Favorite Songs, "FROM VARIOUS GARDENS CULL'D.", SONG

Delightful source of heart-felt joy Is Friendship's sacred flame, A passion pure that ne'er can cloy, But still remains the same; Vain is the hope that lustful Love, That tyrant of the breast, In constancy can equal prove, Or bear so strict a test.

Dear faithful FRIEND whose tender care, Whose smiles delight impart, Possessed of every virtue rare That captivates the heart. O may we still in bond's entwin'd Of Friendship firm and true, Enjoy those pleasures of the mind Which virtuous souls pursue.
