William Blake

“ If Men will act like a maid smiling over a Churn,
They ought not, when it comes to another's turn
To grow sower at what a friend may utter,
Knowing & feeling that we all have need of Butter.
5 False Friends fie! fie! our Friendship you shan't sever, [2]
In spite we will be greater friends than ever. [3]
