George Gordon Byron - To E---
Work rating: Low

Let Folly smile, to view the names
   Of thee and me in friendship twined;
Yet Virtue will have greater claims
   To love, than rank with vice combined.

And though unequal is thy fate,
   Since title deck`d my higher claims
Yet envy not this gaudy state;
   Thine is the pride of modest worth.

Our souls at least congenial meet,
   Nor can thy lot my rank disgrace;
Our intercourse is not less sweet,
   Since worth of rank supplies the place.

November 1802
