NECESSARY OBSERVATIONS: 15TH PRECEPT, by THOMAS RANDOLPHPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: To tell thy miseries will no comfort breed Last Line: Thou soon shalt lose a friend, and find a foe.
To tell thy miseries will no comfort breed, Men help thee most that think thou hast no need; But if the world once thy misfortunes know, Thou soon shalt lose a friend, and find a foe.
