The friendship by an enemy shown
Is anvil in time, to strike you down.
Who pretend kinship but are not
Their friendship's fickle like woman's heart.
They may be vast in good studies
But heartfelt-love is hard for foes.
Fear foes whose face has winning smiles
Whose heart is full of cunning guiles.
Do not trust in what they tell
Whose mind with your mind goes ill.
The words of foes is quickly seen
Though they speak like friends in fine.
Trust not the humble words of foes
Danger darts from bending bows.
Adoring hands of foes hide arms
Their sobbing tears have lurking harms.
In open who praise, at heart despise
Cajole and crush them in friendly guise.
When foes, in time, play friendship's part
Feign love on face but not in heart.
FALSE FRIENDSHIP
