ODE III. To a Friend, With a borrowed Guinea returned.
I
Auspicious Orb! whose chearful GlowDispells the sable Clouds of Woe;
And circling this terrestrial Ball
Like the gay Sun enlivens all;
II
Remitted to a gracious Friend,My undissembled Love commend;
And (such the Interest Poets pay)
Chink in his Ear this moral Lay.

III
“Lo, I return with brighter Beam!“Beneficence refines my Gleam:
“O may I ever sacred be
“To Friendship and Humanity!
IV
“So shall my Rays, when yonder Light“Is shaded in eternal Night,
“Above the Wreck of Nature rise,
“And glitter in immortal Eyes.”
