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...HUGH SELWYN MAUBERLEY: 6.
