Bernard, farewell; may rosy health
Companion'd by that cherub wealth,
Be constant to you, like myself,
Your own departing spirit.
Not that you're going to die; no, no,
You'll only take a nap or so;
But yet I wish you, 'fore you go,
These blessings to inherit.
Bernard, farewell; pray think of me,
When you ride earth, or cross the sea;
On both, you know, I've been with thee,
And sung some pretty things;
Great Spy, farewell; when next you rise
To make of fools a sacrifice,
You'll hear, down-cleaving from the skies,
The rustle of my wings.
January, 1826.
