BAD COMPANY, by ABU AMR First Line: Avoid the friend who's parasitic Last Line: Shows on its point with what it's dripping. | |||
Avoid the friend who's parasitic (Like certain particles enclitic) And loves to be, like Amr, a ranger Betwixt compatriot and stranger. Bad company is most contagious; As proof of its effect outrageous, The spear that in bad blood keeps dipping Shows on its point with what it's dripping. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EVE SPEAKS by LOUIS UNTERMEYER AN ODE TO THE FRAMERS OF THE FRAME BILL by GEORGE GORDON BYRON LONDON, 1802 (1) by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 41.
