whom

All desired and timely things.

All whom morning sends to roam,

Hesper loves to lead them home.

How loved, how honour'd once, avails thee not,

To whom related, or by whom begot;

A heap of dust alone remains of thee,

As some fond virgin, whom her mother's care

Drags from the town to wholesome country air,

For fame, for riches, for a noble wife?

Shall one whom nature, learning, birth, conspired

To form not to admire but be admired,

Attend the shade of gentle Buckingham:

In whom a race, for courage famed and art,

Ends in the milder merit of the heart;

A poet, blest beyond the poet's fate,

Whom Heaven kept sacred from the proud and great:

Foe to loud praise, and friend to learnèd ease,

But if you'll prosper, mark what I advise,

Whom age and long experience render wise,

And one whose tender care is far above

This nymph, compress'd by him who rules the day,

Whom Delphi and the Delian isle obey,

Andraemon loved; and, bless'd in all those charms
