Extract

If I faults in friend discover, Find him not in acts the same, I, by friendship moved, pass over What in him provoketh blame. What a friend of evil doeth I to him will never do; Fault which unto him accrueth I with grace indulgent view. To a friend's defects the blindness Of a friend is friendship's part, Friendship this preserves through kindness Worthy of a noble heart.
