828 Urceus Exit
Triolet
I INTENDED an Ode, And it turn'd to a Sonnet It began a la mode, I intended an Ode, But Rose cross'd the road
In her latest new bonnet; I intended an Ode,
And it turn'd to a Sonnet.
��829 Fame and Friendship
FAME is a food that dead men eat,- I have no stomach for such meat. In little light and narrow room, They cat it in the silent tomb, With no kind voice of comrade near To bid the feaster be of cheer.
��But Friendship is a nobler thing, Of Friendship it is good to sing. For truly, when a man shall end, He lives m memory of his friend, Who docs his better part recall And of his fault make funeral.
