William Cowper
Last Lines
New! And bore the worthless prize away.
New! And drought on all the drooping herbs around.
New! And each by shrinking show'd he felt it.
New! And heaven reflected in her face.
New! And those of sorrows yet to come.
New! Farewell! we meet no more?
New! I sink the poet in the friend.
New! May be follow'd perhaps by a smile.
New! Neglected leaves a dreary waste behind.
New! Of him that creeps and him that flies.
New! Or soon expels him if it is.
New! Resolves to have none of her own.
New! Than to neglect a good adviser.
New! The truth of a friend such as you.
New! Then farewell British freedom.
