TO
M. M. S.
O, if my wishes were my power,
You should be praised as were most fit,
Whose kindness cannot help but flower.
You should be praised as were most fit,
Whose kindness cannot help but flower.
But since the fates have ordered it
Otherwise, then ere the hour
Of darkness deaden all my wit
Otherwise, then ere the hour
Of darkness deaden all my wit
I’ll write: how all my art was poor,
My mind too thought-packed to acquit
My debt ... And only, “Thanks once more.”

My mind too thought-packed to acquit
My debt ... And only, “Thanks once more.”
