THE PARTING HOUR	A
	-
Minutely trace man's life year after year	B
Through all his days let all his deeds appear	B
And then though some may in that life be strange	C
Yet there appears no vast nor sudden change	C
The links that bind those various deeds are seen	D
And no mysterious void is left between	D
But let these binding links be all destroyed	E
All that through years he suffer'd or enjoy'd	E
Let that vast gap be made and then behold	F
This was the youth and he is thus when old	F
Then we at once the work of time survey	G
And in an instant see a life's decay	G
Pain mix'd with pity in our bosoms rise	H
And sorrow takes new sadness from surprise	H
Beneath yon tree observe an ancient pair	I
A sleeping man a woman in her chair	I
Watching his looks with kind and pensive air	I
Nor wife nor sister she nor is the name	J
Nor kindred of this friendly pair the same	J
Yet so allied are they that few can feel	K
Her constant warm unwearied anxious zeal	K
Their years and woes although they long have	L
	-
loved	M
Keep their good name and conduct unreproved	M
Thus life's small comforts they together share	I
And while life lingers for the grave prepare	I
No other subjects on their spirits press	N
Nor gain such int'rest as the past distress	N
Grievous events that from the mem'ry drive	O
Life's common cares and those alone survive	O
Mix with each thought in every action share	I
Darken each dream and blend with every prayer	I
To David Booth his fourth and last born boy	P
Allen his name was more than common joy	P
And as the child grew up there seem'd in him	Q
A more than common life in every limb	Q
A strong and handsome stripling he became	J
And the gay spirit answer'd to the frame	J
A lighter happier lad was never seen	D
For ever easy cheerful or serene	D
His early love he fix'd upon a fair	I
And gentle maid they were a handsome pair	I
They at an infant school together play'd	M
Where the foundation of their love was laid	M
The boyish champion would his choice attend	M
In every sport in every fray defend	M
As prospects open'd and as life advanced	M
They walk'd together they together danced	M
On all occasions from their early years	R
They mix'd their joys and sorrows hopes and fears	R
Each heart was anxious till it could impart	M
Its daily feelings to its kindred heart	M
As years increased unnumber'd petty wars	S
Broke out between them jealousies and jars	T
Causeless indeed and follow'd by a peace	U
That gave to love growth vigour and increase	U
Whilst yet a boy when other minds are void	M
Domestic thoughts young Alien's hours employ'd	M
Judith in gaining hearts had no concern	V
Rather intent the matron's part to learn	V
Thus early prudent and sedate they grew	W
While lovers thoughtful and though children	X
	-
true	W
To either parents not a day appeard	M
When with this love they might have interfered	M
Childish at first they cared not to restrain	Y
And strong at last they saw restriction vain	Y
Nor knew they when that passion to reprove	O
Now idle fondness now resistless love	O
So while the waters rise the children tread	M
On the broad estuary's sandy bed	M
But soon the channel fills from side to side	M
Comes danger rolling with the deep'ning tide	M
Yet none who saw the rapid current flow	Z
Could the first instant of that danger know	Z
The lovers waited till the time should come	A2
When they together could possess a home	B2
In either house were men and maids unwed	M
Hopes to be soothed and tempers to be led	M
Then Allen's mother of his favourite maid	M
Spoke from the feelings of a mind afraid	M
'Dress and amusements were her sole employ '	-
She said 'entangling her deluded boy '	-
And yet in truth a mother's jealous love	O
Had much imagined and could little prove	O
Judith had beauty and if vain was kind	M
Discreet and mild and had a serious mind	M
Dull was their prospect When the lovers met	M
They said 'We must not dare not venture yet '	-
'Oh could I labour for thee ' Allen cried	M
'Why should our friends be thus dissatisfied	M
On my own arm I could depend but they	G
Still urge obedience must I yet obey '	-
Poor Judith felt the grief but grieving begg'd	M
	-
delay	G
At length a prospect came that seem'd to smile	C2
And faintly woo them from a Western Isle	C2
A kinsman there a widow's hand had gain'd	M
'Was old was rich and childless yet remain'd	M
Would some young Booth to his affairs attend	M
And wait awhile he might expect a friend '	-
The elder brothers who were not in love	O
Fear'd the false seas unwilling to remove	O
But the young Allen an enamour'd boy	P
Eager an independence to enjoy	P
Would through all perils seek it by the sea	D2
Through labour danger pain or slavery	D2
The faithful Judith his design approved	M
For both were sanguine they were young and loved	M
The mother's slow consent was then obtain'd	M
The time arrived to part alone remain'd	M
All things prepared on the expected day	G
Was seen the vessel anchor'd in the bay	G
From her would seamen in the evening come	A2
To take th' adventurous Allen from his home	B2
With his own friends the final day he pass'd	M
And every painful hour except the last	M
The grieving father urged the cheerful glass	E2
To make the moments with less sorrow pass	E2
Intent the mother look'd upon her son	X
And wish'd th' assent withdrawn the deed undone	X
The younger sister as he took his way	G
Hung on his coat and begg'd for more delay	G
But his own Judith call'd him to the shore	F2
Whom he must meet for they might meet no more	F2
And there he found her faithful mournful true	W
Weeping and waiting for a last adieu	W
The ebbing tide had left the sand and there	I
Moved with slow steps the melancholy pair	I
Sweet were the painful moments but how sweet	M
And without pain when they again should meet	M
Now either spoke as hope and fear impress'd	M
Each their alternate triumph in the breast	M
Distance alarm'd the maid she cried ''Tis far	G2
	-
'	-
And danger too 'it is a time of war	F2
Then in those countries are diseases strange	C
And women gay and men are prone to change	C
What then may happen in a year when things	H2
Of vast importance every moment brings	H2
But hark an oar ' she cried yet none appear'd	M
'Twas love's mistake who fancied what it fear'd	M
And she continued 'Do my Allen keep	I2
Thy heart from evil let thy passions sleep	I2
Believe it good nay glorious to prevail	J2
And stand in safety where so many fail	J2
And do not Allen or for shame or pride	M
Thy faith abjure or thy profession hide	M
Can I believe his love will lasting prove	O
Who has no rev'rence for the God I love	O
I know thee well how good thou art and kind	M
But strong the passions that invade thy mind	M
Now what to me hath Allen to commend '	-
'Upon my mother ' said the youth ' attend	M
Forget her spleen and in my place appear	B
Her love to me will make my Judith dear	B
Oft I shall think such comforts lovers seek	K2
Who speaks of me and fancy what they speak	K2
Then write on all occasions always dwell	L2
On hope's fair prospects and be kind and well	L2
And ever choose the fondest tenderest style '	-
She answer'd 'No ' but answer'd with a smile	C2
'And now my Judith at so sad a time	M2
Forgive my fear and call it not my crime	M2
When with our youthful neighbours 'tis thy chance	N2
To meet in walks the visit or the dance	N2
When every lad would on my lass attend	M
Choose not a smooth designer for a friend	M
That fawning Philip nay be not severe	B
A rival's hope must cause a lover's fear '	-
Displeased she felt and might in her reply	O2
Have mix'd some anger but the boat was nigh	O2
Now truly heard it soon was full in sight	M
Now the sad farewell and the long good night	M
For see his friends come hast'ning to the beach	P2
And now the gunwale is within the reach	P2
'Adieu farewell remember ' and what more	F2
Affection taught was utter'd from the shore	F2
But Judith left them with a heavy heart	M
Took a last view and went to weep apart	M
And now his friends went slowly from the place	Q2
Where she stood still the dashing oar to trace	Q2
Till all were silent for the youth she pray'd	M
And softly then return'd the weeping maid	M
They parted thus by hope and fortune led	M
And	M
