BAD COMPANY, by ABU AMR First Line: Avoid the friend who's parasitic Last Line: Shows on its point with what it's dripping. | |||
Avoid the friend who's parasitic (Like certain particles enclitic) And loves to be, like Amr, a ranger Betwixt compatriot and stranger. Bad company is most contagious; As proof of its effect outrageous, The spear that in bad blood keeps dipping Shows on its point with what it's dripping. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BEPPO: A VENETIAN STORY by GEORGE GORDON BYRON STANZAS ON THE DEATH OF A FRIEND by REGINALD HEBER OUR COUNTRY by JULIA WARD HOWE WORDLY WISE (10) by MOTHER GOOSE THE NUN AT COURT by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN SONG OF THE DESERT LARK by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT |
