1. Do not give your affection except to the trustworthy
Nor the chalice of friendship save to the judicious

2. If a young man be endowed with dignity
His bosom friends take him as their physician

3. A portion of affection is essentially fraternity
And a portion of enmity that you may reprove

4. Verily, he who loves becomes the hated one
And verily, the hated one becomes the beloved
