The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,

But not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;

For loan oft loses both itself and friend.
This above all,—to thine own self be true;
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

-Shakespeare.

314-Legend of Robin-Redbreast

"Bearing his cross, while Christ passed forth forlorn,
His Godlike forehead by the mock crown torn,

A little bird took from that crown one thorn.
To soothe the dear Redeemer's throbbing head,
That bird did what she could; His blood, 'tis said,
Down dropping, dyed her tender bosom red.
Since then no wanton boy disturbs her nest;
Weasel nor wild cat will her young molest;
All sacred deem the bird of ruddy breast."
