ODE TO FRIENDSHIP. FRIENDSHIP, thou social bond of life! RT. COOKE. Next heav'n-born harmony thy aid we ask, To blend thy notes in one continu'd whole, Thus the gay hours shall glide away, Where gen'rous friendship bears the sway, Mr. Harris. MADRIGAL for Three Voices. J. WILBYE.1598.. FLY, Love, to heav'n above, and look out Fortune, And sweetly her importune: That I from my Calista, best beloved, As and she sit down be never moved; you And love to Carimel, see you commend me, Fortune, for her sweet sake, may chance befriend me.

Then come to me lad, Thou shalt have What thy dad Never gave, For here it is to be sold.

Then thou shalt seem Like a wench of fifteen, Although you be threescore and ten years old. GLEE for Four Voices. Dr. COOKE.
