¶Liedtext

O sacred friendship, heaven's delight, Who, tired with man's unequal mind, Took to thy native skies thy flight While scarce thy shadow's left behind; From thee, diffusive good below, Peace and her train of joys we trace, But falsehood, with dissembled show, Too oft usurps thy sacred place. Blessed genius, then resume thy seat; Destroy imposture and deceit, Which in thy dress confound the ball. Harmonious peace and truth renew, Shew the false friendship from the true, Or nature must to chaos fall.
