John Boyle O'Reilly

To my Dear Old Friend, Mr. A. Shuman

 
NOT many friends
Wish I you;
Love makes amends
For the few.
 
Slight bonds are best
For the new;
Here is the test
Of the true:
 
Pay to your friend
Your own due;
Lone to the end,
Through and through;
Let him, commend,
And not you.
 
Friends of this kind,
Tried and true,
May you, friend, find,—
Just a few.
