[hometext] => All of you will seek my friendship after reading this poem
[bodytext] => Those who know virtue and riper wisdom share Their worth weighed well, you should choose with care To cherish all accomplished fellow-mates as friends Whose skill removes the present ills and further defends Cherish these fellows of mighty soul and make them your own Is to have rare kingly treasures, rarest gift to be known Live with men of greatness, that for your own excels Gives you the greatest power, that with a monarch dwells For a king the counselors are monarch ``s eyes Select these counselors with counsel wise If you know to live with worthy men allied You need not fear from any foeman`s pride If your power will fall because of your associates They will employ thunder out reproaches when you make mistakes If there is no one to censure you, bereft of safeguards all For no ruin work of yours, shall surely ruined fall One without principal has no gain of usury Likewise without friends you have no stability Last but not least Incur the wrath of many foes, but works greater woe Ten-folds, the friendship of worthy people to forego.
