96 Yes, I shall miss the merry smile That oft-times cheer'd my heart, While far away, mid storms and surge You bear a venturous part.

Brother, good bye! yet ne'er forget Whatever else betide, That your good conduct is our wealth, Your stainless name, our pride.

Be firm and honest, kind and true, In sunshine, or in blast, And make your duty, your delight, Where'er your lot is cast.

Oh Brother dear! Heaven be your guide Upon the boistrous main, And bring you to your sister's side, In happiness again.
