To the Immortal Memory and Friendship of that noble pair	A
Sir Lucius Cary and Sir H Morison	B
	-
	-
It is not growing like a tree	C
In bulk doth make man better be	C
Or standing long an oak three hundred year	D
To fall a log at last dry bald and sere	D
A lily of a day	E
Is fairer far in May	E
Although it fall and die that night	F
It was the plant and flower of light	F
In small proportions we just beauties see	C
And in short measures life may perfect be	C
	-
Call noble Lucius then for wine	G
And let thy looks with gladness shine	G
Accept this garland plant it on thy head	H
And think nay know thy Morison 's not dead	H
He leap'd the present age	I
Possest with holy rage	I
To see that bright eternal Day	E
Of which we Priests and Poets say	E
Such truths as we expect for happy men	J
And there he lives with memory and Ben	J
	-
Jonson who sung this of him ere he went	K
Himself to rest	L
Or tast a part of that full joy he meant	K
To have exprest	K
In this bright Asterism	E
Where it were friendship's schism	E
Were not his Lucius long with us to tarry	C
To separate these twy	K
Lights the Dioscuri	C
And keep the one half from his Harry	C
But fate doth so alternate the design	G
Whilst that in Heav'n this light on earth must shine	G
	-
And shine as you exalted are	C
Two names of friendship but one star	C
Of hearts the union and those not by chance	M
Made or indenture or leased out to advance	M
The profits for a time	E
No pleasures vain did chime	E
Of rimes or riots at your feasts	N
Orgies of drink or feign'd protests	O
But simple love of greatness and of good	K
That knits brave minds and manners more than blood	K
	-
This made you first to know the Why	P
You liked then after to apply	P
That liking and approach so one the t'other	C
Till either grew a portion of the other	C
Each styl egrave d by his end	K
The copy of his friend	K
You lived to be the great surnames	Q
And titles by which all made claims	Q
Unto the Virtue nothing perfect done	B
But as a CARY or a MORISON	B
	-
And such the force the fair example had	K
As they that saw	R
The good and durst not practise it were glad	K
That such a law	R
Was left yet to mankind	K
Where they might read and find	K
FRIENDSHIP indeed was written not in words	S
And with the heart not pen	J
Of two so early men	J
Whose lines her rules were and records	T
Who ere the first down bloom egrave d on the chin	U
Had sow'd these fruits and got the harvest in	U
