Poem1

Every one that flatters thee,
Is no friend in misery.
Words are easy, like the wind;
Faithful friends are hard to find
Every man will be thy friend,
Whilst thou hast wherewith to spend;
But if store of crowns be scant,

No man will supply thy want.
If that one be prodigal,


"Bountiful "they will him call,
If he be addict to vice;
Quickly him they will entice;
But if Fortune once do frown,

Then farewell his great renown:
They that fawned on him before
Use his company no more.

 William shakespeare.
