Still serve me in my age I prayA
As in my youth O faithful oneB
For years I've brushed thee every dayA
Could Socrates have better doneB
What though the fates would wreak on theeC
The fulness of their evil artD
Use thou philosophy like meC
And we old friend shall never partD
-
I think I often think of itE
The day we twain first faced the crowdF
My roistering friends impeached your fitE
But you and I were very proudF
Those jovial friends no more make freeC
With us no longer new and smartD
But rather welcome you and meC
As loving friends that should not partD
-
The patch Oh yes one happy nightG
Lisette says I it's time to goH
She clutched this sleeve to stay my flightG
Shrieking What leave so early NoH
To mend the ghastly rent she'd madeI
Three days she toiled dear patient heartD
And I right willingly I staidI
Lisette decreed we should not partD
-
No incense ever yet profanedD
This honest shiny warp of thineJ
Nor hath a courtier's eye disdainedD
Thy faded hue and quaint designJ
Let servile flattery be the priceK
Of ribbons in the royal martD
A roadside posie shall sufficeK
For us two friends that must not partD
-
Fear not the recklessness of yoreL
Shall re occur to vex thee nowM
Alas I am a youth no moreL
I'm old and sere and so art thouM
So bide with me unto the lastD
And with thy warmth caress this heartD
That pleads by memories of the PastD
That two such friends should never partD
