Sydney Thompson Dobell - Epitaph I

Описание

On A Portrait Presented To J. Y. Simpson, M.D. (Afterwards Sir James Simpson) Unto myself my better self you gave. I give yourself yourself: but ah, my friend, In how inverse a ratio! To amend The unjust return these thanks are all I have, Except a sigh, when that poor 'all' is o'er, To feel, alas, no less your debtor than before.
