O, if, I say, you look upon this verse When I perhaps compounded am with clay, Do not so much as my poor name rehearse. But let your love even with my life decay, Lest the wise world should look into your moan And mock you with me after I am gone. FAMILY HOUR Saturday, July 16, 2022 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM Samuel L.
