THE COMPARISON, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Friendship is like the gold refined
Last Line: And melt in lambent flame.
Subject(s): Friendship


FRIENDSHIP is like the gold refined,
And all may weigh its worth;
Love like the ore, brought undesign'd
In virgin beauty forth.

Friendship may pass from age to age,
And yet remain the same;
Love must in many a toil engage,
And melt in lambent flame.
