FOR ONCE MAY PRIDE BEFRIEND

THER. 
For once may pride befriend thee, 
For once be proud and vain ; 
Else all, amid that glittering throng, 
Will pass thee with disdain. 
6 
Place high that glittering diamond 
On thy white and polished brow ; 
Display thy costly jewels, 
Let pride befriend thee now. 



For thou goest ’mid the number 
Who are the proud of earth ; 
Who think far more of beauty, 
Than they do of solid worth. 




Then thy humility disguise, 
May vanity attend thee ; 
And as thou walkest ’mid that throng, 
May pride for once befriend thee. 
Joun 8. ADAMS.
