THE WORDS OF SADI.
Reflect upon the words that Sadi penned.Reveal not every secret to a friend:
For how can you foretell what is to be?
He may, hereafter, be your enemy.
And with your enemy the wisest plan
Is not to do him all the harm you can;
18
To make your present enemy a friend.
The hand that can withhold, the tongue discreet,
These fit the Sheik to fill the Sultan's seat.
