Besides, it wounds you sore to recollect 205

What follies in your loose unguarded hour

Escap’d. By one irrevocable word,

Perhaps that meant no harm, you lose a friend.

Or in the rage of wine your hasty hand

Performs a deed to haunt you to your grave. 210

Add that your means, your health, your parts decay;

Your friends avoid you; brutishly transform’d

They hardly know you; or if one remains

To wish you well, he wishes you in heaven.
