Friendship - Triple Rictameter













Jesus Ben Sirach

Chapter 6

14/17









Friendship

Is a blessing,

Nothing can countervail

A veritable and true friend,

He that found such friend has found a treasure.

A true friend is a strong defense,

He can heal many wounds,

So powerful is

Friendship.









Friendship

Has a matrix,

An archetypal form,-

It ought to take after this form,

And as He is also will be the friend,

Mirroring  friendship’s prototype,

If it is to be firm

And lasting a

Friendship









Friendship

Must be grounded

Upon this paradigm,

As the image of the matrix,-

Those who fear the Lord find this friend,

And the Lord will guide it aright,

So it will take after

The Model of

Friendship
