Awake O Gratitude nor let the tears	A
Of selfish Sorrow smother up thy voice	B
When it should speak of a departed friend	C
A tender friend the first I ever lost	D
For Destiny till now was merciful	E
And though I oft have felt a transient pang	F
For worth unknown and wept awhile for those	G
Whom long acquaintance only made me love	H
No keen regret laid pining at my heart	I
Nor Memory in the solitary hour	J
Would sting with grief as when she speaks	K
Thy virtue knowledge wisdom gentleness	L
Thy venerable age and says that I	M
Had once the happiness to call thee friend	C
	-
Yes I once bore that title and my heart	I
Thought nobler of itself that one so good	N
So honor'd so rever'd should give it me	O
O Isola when that glad season comes	P
Which brought redemption to a ruin'd world	Q
And like thee hides beneath the snow of age	R
A gay benevolent and feeling heart	I
I hop'd again to hear thy tongue repeat	S
With youthful warmth and zealous energy	O
Those passages where Poetry assumes	T
An air divine and wakes th' attentive soul	U
To holy rapture Then you promis'd me	O
The luxury to weep o'er Dante's muse	V
And fair Italia's loftier poets hail	W
	-
I have often heard	X
That years would blunt the feelings of the soul	U
And apathy ice the once glowing heart	I
Injurious prejudice Dear guileless friend	C
Thou read'st mankind but saw not or forgot	Y
Their faults and vices for thy breast was still	Z
The residence of sweet Simplicity	O
Daughter of letter'd Wisdom and the friend	C
Of Love and Pity Happy soul farewell	A2
Long shall we mourn thee longer will it be	O
Ere we shall look upon thy like again	B2
	-
	-

	-
This humble tribute to the memory of my venerated friend was written in	C2
the first impulse of my sorrow for his loss and though unworthy of his	D2
virtues is still a small memorial of my respect for a man on whose	V
tomb might justly be inscribed as I have seen on an old monument	E2
	-
	-
Heven hath his soule	F2
He fruits of Pietie	E2
This Towne his want	E2
Our hearts his Memorie	J
