83. To Naevolus

Your manners are horrid, when business goes right;
We are slaves, left ungreeted, mere dogs in your sight.
But when you're in trouble they're quite superfine;
Then it's ‘master,’ ‘good sir,’ ‘pray come with me to dine.’
I'm your friend, my dear fellow, and don't wish you ill:
But I hope that you stay in adversity still.
