801 Familiarity is friendship's silent pact, That puts restraint on no familiar act.

802 Familiar freedom friendship's very frame supplies; To be its savour sweet is duty of the wise.

803 When to familiar acts men kind response refuse, What fruit from ancient friendship's use?

804 When friends unbidden do familiar acts with loving heart, Friends take the kindly deed in friendly part.

805 Not folly merely, but familiar carelessness, Esteem it, when your friends cause you distress.

806 Who stand within the bounds quit not, though loss impends, Association with the old familiar friends.

807 True friends, well versed in loving ways, Cease not to love, when friend their love betrays.

808 In strength of friendship rare of friend's disgrace who will not hear, The day his friend offends will day of grace to him appear.

809 Friendship of old and faithful friends, Who ne'er forsake, the world commends.

810 Ill-wishers even wish them well, who guard, For ancient friends, their wonted kind regard.
