NECESSARY OBSERVATIONS: 31ST PRECEPT, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Judge not between two friends, but rather see
Last Line: Howe'er thou judge, thou, sure, shalt lose a friend.
Subject(s): Friendship


Judge not between two friends, but rather see,
If thou canst bring them friendly to agree.
So shalt thou both their loves to thee increase,
And gain a blessing too for making peace;
But if thou shouldst decide the cause, i' th' end,
Howe'er thou judge, thou, sure, shalt lose a friend.
