'Mid Nature's solitudes we needs must feel
How great the debt of happiness we owe
To those who share our lives, and seek our weal—
Companionship none lightly may forgo!—
For such as on themselves their love bestow
Carry, like all who hoard illiberal gold,
Burdens more sad than human hearts may hold.
