A Wise Man Has Conveyed To Me
A rather wise man has conveyed to me
his words---in elegant delivery
(and unobtrusive brevity)---
the nature of friendship's verity;
and that its real condition
does not stoop to perfidy,
or pride's preening mockery,
and it prefers addition's
and multplication's largesse
to subtraction's or division's
reduction of more to less.
