No friend's a friend till [he shall] prove a friend.
No friend's a friend till [he shall] prove a friend.

That place that does contain
My books, the best companions, is to me
A glorious court, where read more
That place that does contain
My books, the best companions, is to me
A glorious court, where hourly I converse
With the old sages and philosophers;

Unto a strict account, and, in my fancy,
Deface their ill-placed statues.
Hit the nail on the head.
Hit the nail on the head.
