Oh my lov'd friend! till now I never knew The pangs of part… - George Granville

" "
Oh my lov'd friend! till now I never knew
The pangs of parting friendship.
At distance I have tasted of the pain,
When the rude morn has sundered us away,
To our repose: but by my soul, I swear
Even then my eyes would drop a silent tear,
Repugnant still to close, and shut out thee.

Additional quotes by George Granville

The great, the vile, the coward, and the brave,
Are food alike for worms, companions in the grave.
The prince and parasite together lye,
No fortune can exalt, but Death will climb as high.

But ah! what mighty magick can assuage
A woman's envy, and a bigot's rage?

Cowards in scarlet pass for men of war.
