Your friendships like a drawing band, yet we must take the parting hand.
Your companys sweet, your union dear; Your words delightful to my ear,
Yet when I see that we must part, You draw like cords around my heart.”

Yet with my nobler reason gainst my fury
Do I take part. The rarer action is
In virtue than in vengeance.”
