A FAITHFUL SERVANT, by                    
First Line: A lydian, yes, a lydian I
Last Line: Timanthes will be thine.


ALYDIAN, yes, a Lydian I;
But though I was a slave,
My master let his tutor lie
In this, a free man's grave.

Good years and happy be thy share!
And when, with life's decline
Thou comest, master, even there
Timanthes will be thine.
