TWO KINDS OF FRIENDSHIP The friendship of the rogue or saint,   Like shade at dawn or shade at noon, Starts large and slowly grows more faint,   Or starting faint, grows larger soon.

Tawney

The kindness of the bad at first   Is great, and then doth wane; The good man's love, at th' outset small,   Slowly doth bulk attain; Such difference between these two   In nature doth abide, As 'twixt the shadow of the morn   And that of eventide.

XXVII Like as the shadows of the twilight hour Differ from those at morn, So doth a good man's friendship in its power From that of evil born :— One small at first still stronger, deeper grows, One shortens to the close.
