A 93-7: etext transcription

< a93-7.txt.1; poem >
"Remember me"
implored the Thief!
Oh Hospitality!
My Guest "Today
in Paradise"
I give thee
guaranty.
That Courtesy
will fair remain
When the Delight
is Dust
With which we
cite this mightiest
case
Of compensated
trust -
Of all we are
allowed to hope

<verso, first leaf (A 93-7a)>
But Affidavit
stands
That this was
due where most
we fear
Be unexpected
Friends.
