1 A good man's our firm friend,
2 A bad man's our false friend,
3 For so clouds drink salt brine
4 And so snakes drink sweet milk,

1 and ev - 'ry lit - tle fault soon will be for - got;
2 and ev - 'ry bud - ding vir - tue will droop and die.
3 from ev - 'ry lit - tle wave-crest, and make it sweet;
4 and ev - 'ry drop be - comes poi - son at the last.
