Friendship is constant in all other things, Therefore, all hearts in love use their own tongues; And trust no agent: for beauty is a witch, 150. Friendship, its caprices. 6-ii. 1. O, world, thy slippery turns! Friends now fast sworn, On a dissension of a doit, break out Whose passions, and whose plots, have broke their sleep To take the one the other, by some chance, Some trick not worth an egg, shall grow dear friends, And interjoin their issues. Thou dost conspire against thy friend, 28-iv. 4. If thou but think'st him wrong'd, and mak'st his ear A stranger to thy thoughts. 37-iii. 3.

Friends parting. 27-iv. 3. Farewell: The leisure and the fearful time Which so-long-sunder'd friends should dwell upon. 24-v. 3. 161. Neglect of departed friends. As we do turn our backs From our companion, thrown into his grave;, Slink all away; leave their false vows with him, With his disease of all-shunn'd poverty, 27-iv. 2. 'Tis not good that children should know any wickedness: old folks have discretion, as they say, and know the world. 163. Discretion necessary to old age.

There's no art, To find the mind's construction in the face. 171. Mind the test of man. "T is the mind that makes the body rich; 15-i. 4. And as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds, 172.
