Or do such rare endowments still survive,
As plants remov'd to milder regions thrive, 158
In one eternal spring? and we bewail
The parting soul, new-born to life that cannot fail.

Where sacred friendship, plighted love,
Parental joys, unmix'd with care, 162
Through perpetual time improve?
Or do the deathless blessed share
Sublimer raptures, unreveal'd,
Beyond our weak conception pure? 166
But, while those glories ly conceal'd,
The righteous count the promise sure,
Trials to the last enduring,
To the last their hope securing. 170
