And all our little feuds, at least all mine,

Dear Jeffrey, once my most redoubted foe

(As far as rhyme and criticism combine

To make such puppets of us things below),

Are over: Here's a health to "Auld Lang Syne!"

I do not know you, and may never know

Your face—but you have acted on the whole

Most nobly, and I own it from my soul.
