Not to trust passion of friendship

As the holiest communion
Is to distrust freewillFate makes our parents,
Choice, makes our friend.
Tirelessly benevolent,
Saves self from loneliness
And pal from evil bent
So strong the faith in what's
Good in man, not in his goods
As the test of man's manhood.
Yet to share one soul in two bodies
Is to halve your rights
And double your duties
So unfriendly to doubt

As to be deceived
By what prosperity makes
But adversity tries.
He makes no friend
Who never made a foe.
