 FRIENDSHIP

'Friends, Romans, Countrymen, and Lovers.'

such pure hate still underprop

Our love, that we may be

Each other's conscience,

And have our sympathy

Mainly from thence.

We'll one another treat like gods,

And all the faith we have

In virtue and in truth, bestow

On either, and suspicion leave

To gods below.
