LIBERALITY OF SENTIMENT: AND SO HOME by CORNELIUS WHUR

First Line: JUST AS HE REACH'D THIS STIRRING CLOSE
Last Line: HIS HAND HE HELD,—AND THUS THEY PARTED.
Subject(s): GENTLEMEN; HOME;
[@3Two gentlemen, having met accidentally at an inn and having been
detained by a shower of rain, part after a theological discussion@1.]

JUST as he reach'd this stirring close,
The other gentleman arose;
And with emotion and surprise,
He rang the bell, then wip'd his eyes;
And ere he for his dwelling started,
His hand he held,—and thus they parted.
