How hard it is to find n friend,
On whom we always may depend,
Sometimes we think this friend is got,
But trial proves we have him not.
Son c To serve some selfish end,
Declare and VOW they are your friend,
But soon rs serving self is 'ore,
Behold, they are your friend no more.
Apparent friendship others show,
10 find out all that you may know,
Your secrets thus, they are pumped out,
And they are handed all about.
Others will act Il part more base,
Always be friendly to your face,
You turn Your back, and then your nam,
Expose TO scandal and to shame.
Those who Of Others tell you much,
My counsel is, beware of such,
Something to tell of all they know,
As freely they will speak of YOU.
\ faithful frind, I highly prize,
A trcacherous one, do despise,
All in suspense, | look around
Where can a rem true friend he found?
