Amigo

"Amigo Mio! Didn't you desert me on the eve of a snow storm, like many another friend of so honest mouthing! And is a touch of poetry a bad companion in difficulty and trial? Never a bit; it was the boon of a God — Wisdom was ever feminine."

(Scenes Beyond the Western Border, April 1852; and
Scenes and Adventures in the Army)

"Your bivouac was marvellously like this present one! But go on; and — if you do not stop at a dream or two — you will doubtless soon come to the cream of the story."

"Amigo mio. — My dreams are — not what they were! "
(September 1852; and Scenes and Adventures)

Amigo, do not scourge me on;
Put up, put up your monkish thong!

"Amigo, how you persecute!"

"Amigo! favored lads there are,
Born under such a lucky star,
They weigh not things too curious, see,
Albeit conforming to their time
And usages thereof, and clime: 
Well, mine's that happy family."
(The sensual poetical "Lyonese" in Clarel 4, Canto 26)

"Time, Amigo, does but mask us —" (L'Envoi from Weeds and Wildings)
