Hold Them Close
Words are easy, like the wind;
Faithful friends are hard to find.

Therefore I’ll lie with love, and love with me,
Since that our faults in love thus smother’d be.
–The Passionate Pilgrim

He that is thy friend indeed,
He will help thee in thy need:
If thou sorrow, he will weep;
If thou wake, he cannot sleep;
Thus of every grief in heart
He with thee doth bear a part.
These are certain signs to know
Faithful friend from flattering foe.
–The Passionate Pilgrim

Beauty is but a vain and doubtful good;
a shining gloss that fadeth suddenly;
a flower that dies when first it ‘gins to bud.
— The Passionate Pilgrim

O, love’s best habit is a soothing tongue.
–The Passionate Pilgrim

Words are easy, like the wind;
Faithful friends are hard to find.
