FRIENDSHIP (2) by HENRY DAVID THOREAU

Poet Analysis

First Line: NOW WE ARE PARTNERS IN SUCH LEGAL TRADE
Last Line: FOR CURRENT STOCK AND NOT FOR DIVIDENDS.
Subject(s): FRIENDSHIP; MERCHANTS; WEALTH; RICHES; FORTUNES;
Now we are partners in such legal trade,
We'll look to the beginnings, not the ends,
Nor to pay day -- knowing true wealth is made
For current stock and not for dividends.
