The Poet Pleads With His Friend For Old Friends

Though you are in your shining days, Voices among the crowd And new friends busy with your praise, Be not unkind or proud, But think about old friends the most: Times bitter flood will rise, Your beauty perish and be lost For all eyes but these eyes.
