measure. You shan’t leave unaccompanied, Just grant me this small leisure.What know you of loss & mem’ries? M D A, hold your stroke, Let’s talk of men and tyranny, I keep you from your duties, But give me a moment to. Leave my own feeble impression, My life like these last seconds flew.For the thoughts and the memories,To keep company within.
