Heart, we will forget him! You and I, to-night! You may forget the warmth he gave, I will forget the light. When you have done, pray tell me, That I my thoughts may dim; Haste! lest while you’re lagging, I may remember him!

His quaint opinions to inspect, His knowledge to unfold On what concerns our mutual mind, The literature of old.
