Of his one vote, has tales of three hours' length—
This sorry rogue you bear, yet with surprise
Start at his oaths, and sicken at his lies.
Then comes there one, and tells in friendly way,
What the opponents in their anger say;
All that through life has vex'd you, all abuse,
Will this kind friend in pure regard produce;
And, having through your own offences run,
Adds (as appendage) what your friends have done.
