And makes each petty artery in this body
As hardy as the Nemean lions nerve.”

Presented with a monumental bust!

“For when we must resign our vital breath,
Our Loves by Fate benighted,
We by this friendship shall survive in death,
Even in divorce united.
Weak Love through fortune or distrust
In time forgets to burn,
But this pursues us to the Urn,
And marries eithers Dust.”
—Thomas Stanley (16251678)
