Thy verses are eternal, O my friend, For he who reads them, reads them to no end

Every single instance of a friend's insincerity increases our dependence on the efficacy of money.

Cudgel thy brains no more about it.

The best time to frame an answer to the letters of a friend, is the moment you receive them. Then the warmth of friendship, and the intelligence received, most forcibly cooperate.

Tear him for his bad verses.
