WRITTEN ON ANOTHER OPEN TEMPLE UNDER THE WORDS “MIHI ET AMICIS.”

BY THE SAME.
1 THY friends have access to a nobler part,
2 They claim the open Temple of thy heart,
3 O may no sighs from that calm region borne,
4 Thy shade's soft whispers turn to sounds forlorn,
[Page 180]
5 Far, far be thence each monument of pain,
6 No paintings there of sorrows past remain!
7 To please by Art, by Nature's charms to please,
8 The first great object is a mind at ease.
