A Quarrel of Friends

Things of value and much importance Can tend to separate friends in accordance The family, the life and are one's happiness The thought of wrangles with unexpected origins And throwing minds so blown away as by storm Finding peace in what is to perform False wisdom from envy and selfish ambition Wishing to have what your friend has which is bringing collision This thinking otherwise, taming totally your lies About which is impossible, made this being possible in truth so washable What a quarrel of friends, to tell the truth that offends Friendship is turning dark and perversely so black And you cannot see them in front only at your back Turning this friendlier, thought of whose are interior Should we be this quarrelsome in an audience full of applause?
