Poems of Phillis Wheatley | ||
ON FRIENDSHIP
Let amicitia in her ample reignExtend her notes to a Celestial strain
Benevolent far more divinely Bright
Amor like me doth triumph at the sight
When my thoughts in gratitude imploy
Mental Imaginations give me Joy
Now let my thoughts in Contemplation steer
The Footsteps of the Superlative fair
Written by Phillis Wheatley Boston July 15 1769
