Everyone that flatterers    thee,                                          flatterers : to say to be better
                                                                                        than it really is
                    Is no friend in misery.
                                                                                        whilst : while
             Words are easy, like the wind,                                             scant : not enough
                    Faithful friends are hard to find.                                  prodigal : excessive
                                                                                        bountiful : plentiful
             - Everyman will be thy friend,                                             frown : displeasure

                    Whilst   thou hast wherewith to spend.
             But if store of crowns he scant    ,

                    No man shall supply thy want.

             If that one be prodigal   ,
                    Bountiful   they will him call.

             And with such like flattering,

                    ‘Pity but he were a king.’

             But if fortune once to frown    ,
                    Then farewell his great renown,

             They that faw’n’d on him before

                    Use his company no more.
             He that is thy friend indeed,

                    He will help thee in thy need,

             If thou sorrow, he will weep,
                    If thou wake, he can not sleep.

             Thus of every grief in heart

                    He with thee doth bear a part,
             These are certain signs to know

                    Faithful friend from flattering foe.

                                          — William Shakespeare
