EPIGRAM: IN FAVOR OF MAKING NEW FRIENDS, by MARCUS VALERIUS MARTIALIS Poet's Biography First Line: You, worthy man, whose noble life commends Last Line: "I'll prove, perhaps, ""a good old friend,"" at last!" Alternate Author Name(s): Martial Subject(s): Friendship | ||||||||
YOU, worthy man, whose noble life commends Your generous heart and gives you many friends, If in your breast a place there yet may be For one friend more, oh, give that place to me! Reject me not because I am not proved; Till they were known, not one of all was loved; New as I am, -- the trial fairly past, -- I'll prove, perhaps, "a good old friend," at last! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...YOU & I BELONG IN THIS KITCHEN by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JASON THE REAL by TONY HOAGLAND NO RESURRECTION by ROBINSON JEFFERS CHAMBER MUSIC: 17 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 18 by JAMES JOYCE THE STONE TABLE by GALWAY KINNELL ALMSWOMAN by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN TO AN ENEMY by MAXWELL BODENHEIM SONNET: 10.
