1. A friend who is no help on a day of distress

    is, by that measure, close to an enemy.

  2. No friend endures through every age,

    nor brothers, save to share one another’s sorrows.

  3. I spent my lifetime seeking with all my might

    a brother I could trust—my search consumed me.

  4. The lands and all who dwell upon them have grown strange,

    as though their people were no people at all.
