Use your enemy's hand to catch a snake

He has no enemy, you say;
My friend your boast is poor,
He who hath mingled in read more

He has no enemy, you say;
My friend your boast is poor,
He who hath mingled in the fray
Of duty that the brave endure
Must have made foes. If he has none

He has hit no traitor on the hip;
Has cast no cup from perjured lip;
Has never turned the wrong to right;
Has been a coward in the fight.

Now, now my good man, this is no time for making enemies.

Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him

head.
