V.
THE TRUE FRIEND.
He is a friend who, treated as a foe,
Now even more friendly than before doth show:
Who to his brother still remains a shield,
Although a sword for him his brother wield;
Who of the very stones against him cast,
Builds friendship’s altar higher and more fast.

PRIDE.
With needle’s point more easily you will
Uproot and quite unfasten a huge hill,
