  1. Easy's the end, when the beginning's hard;
  2. Content let me the present pain endure,
  3. For the sharp medicine is the patient's cure.
  4. How oft you have expos'd me to the cold,
  5. While in your arms you did my rival hold!
  6. How like a slave have I been forc'd to wait
  7. All weathers, and how oft have watched the gate!
  8. As if your house was trusted to my care
  9. And I, your sentinel, did duty there.
