¶Liedtext

To a friend sincere, to a comrade gay, Who brought care on himself to drive our cares away; Who lov'd still to laugh, yet ne'er wish'd to offend And, a friend to mankind, found mankind not a friend. To a spirit so rare let us ever be just, Nor forget him, poor fellow, tho' laid in the dust. Then haste with your myrtles to hang on his shrine; With odours enrich it, bedew it with wine. Ne'er cease on his turf early roses to bloom, And green be the laurel that waves o'er his tomb.
