To My Friend, EDMUND COLLINS.

In divers tones I sing, And pray you, Friend, give ear! My medley of song I bring You, who can rightly hear.

Themes gathered far and near, Thoughts from my heart that spring, In divers tones I sing, And pray you. Friend, give ear!

Here's many a serious thing-- You'll know if it's sincere. Where the light laughters ring You may detect a tear. In divers tones I sing, And pray you, Friend, give ear!
