Poet Analysis

First Line: FRIEND WHO HAST GONE, AND DOST ENRICH TO-DAY
Last Line: FORGET THY FEW, WHO WOULD BE WHERE THOU ART.

FRIEND who hast gone, and dost enrich to-day
New England brightly building far away,
And crown her liberal walk
With company more choice, and sweeter talk,

Look not on Fame, but Peace; and in a bower
Receive at last her fulness and her power:
Nor wholly, pure of heart!
Forget thy few, who would be where thou art.
