Tomkins
Script


Friendship.

To counsel in Distress, to lend kind aid,
To share the burden on another laid, --
To ease the lab'ring thought, the anxious fear,
From bursting grief to wipe the dropping tear,
To sooth the virtuous mind by wrongs opprest,
And spring a hope in the desponding breast.

These are Friendship's true Joys.


J. Ellis
Scuplt
