A friend to chide me when I'm wrong,
My inmost soul to see:
And that my friendship prove as strong
For him as his for me.

It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear
the song of fools. For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is
the laughter of the fool.
--Ecclesiastes 7. 5, 6.
My Father and Friend, who calleth me to check the progress of the
wrong, make me submissive and eager for what is right, that I may
learn and uphold to others thy purposes and desires. Amen.
