'Yet who so poor he may not boast of friends?
Who hath not in his heart some radiance stored?
E'en tho' we know how lightly friendship ends,
When but a breath can make the name abhorr'd!
E'en tho' the parting cleaveth like a sword,
We are fain to love, and be again bereaven,
Perchance to find at last the peace of even!
