A Man often finds himself within himself, it is in our blood !
A man should not crave for more:
What he saves for friends, foes may take;
Hopes are often liars.
With a shield or a costly coat:
Mutual giving makes for friendship,
So long as life goes well,
A man should be loyal through life to friends,
To them and to friends of theirs,
But never shall a man make offer
Of friendship to his foes.
And return gift for gift,
Laugh when they laugh,
but with lies repay
A false foe who lies.
And wish for his good-will,
exchange thoughts,
exchange gifts,
Go often to his house.
But wish for his good-will,
Be fair in speech but false in thought
And give him lie for lie.
And doubt what he means to do,
False words with fair smiles
May get you the gift you desire. "
