If Men will act like a maid smiling over a Churn
by William Blake (1757–1827)
*
If Men will act like a maid smiling over a Churn
They ought not when it comes to anothers turn
To grow sower at what a friend may utter
Knowing & feeling that we all have need of Butter
5 False Friends fie fie our Friendship you shant sever[5]
In spite we will be greater friends than ever[6]
