William Blake (1757–1827). The Poetical Works. 1908.

On Friends and Foes

I am no Homer’s hero you all know

I
I AM no Homer’s hero you all know;

I profess not generosity to a foe.

My generosity is to my friends,

That for their friendship I may make amends.

The generous to enemies promotes their ends,

And becomes the enemy and betrayer of his friends.
