To the same weeping.
Cease, charming Mourner, cease your precious Tears,Suspend these Thoughts and dissipate your Fears.
For, if you lavish those expensive Show'rs,
My sympathetick Grief will equal Yours.
Such are the noble Heights of Friendship's Laws,
Two Fortunes still depending on one Cause.
A single Sorrow neither Party bears,
But both alike divide their common Cares:
And mutual Bliss their happy Hours renew,
The Pleasure doubles when enjoy'd by two.
