Anne Kingsmill Finch - Friendship Between Ephelia And Ardelia
Work rating: Low

Eph. What Friendship is, ARDELIA shew. 
Ard. `Tis to love, as I love You. 
Eph. This Account, so short (tho` kind)
  Suits not my enquiring Mind. 
  Therefore farther now repeat; 
  What is Friendship when complete? 
Ard. `Tis to share all Joy and Grief; 
  `Tis to lend all due Relief
  From the Tongue, the Heart, the Hand; 
  `Tis to mortgage House and Land; 
  For a Friend be sold a Slave; 
  `Tis to die upon a Grave,
  If a Friend therein do lie. 
Eph. This indeed, tho` carry`d high, 
  This, tho` more than e`er was done
  Underneath the rolling Sun, 
  This has all been said before. 
  Can ARDELIA say no more? 
Ard. Words indeed no more can shew: 
  But `tis to love, as I love you.
