TO A CAPRICIOUS FRIEND by MARCUS VALERIUS MARTIALIS

First Line: IN ALL THY HUMORS, WHETHER GRAVE OR MELLOW
Last Line: THERE IS NO LIVING WITH THEE, NOR WITHOUT THEE.
Subject(s): FRIENDSHIP;

IN all thy humors, whether grave or mellow,
Thou 'rt such a touchy, testy, pleasant fellow;
Hast so much wit, and mirth, and spleen about thee,
There is no living with thee, nor without thee.
