ÉCHETTE.

Friends cluster round you on the parting night; Rememb’ring joyful hours of pure delight, Each one recalling what seems now no more Cherished mementoes of the happy past :

How hard that in this life joy will not last E very pleasure being with grief o’ercast :

Thus, here you needs must bid a weary leave Though we, upon this long so dreaded eve, Etre long expect to greet you, friend true to the core.
