Be careful in choosing companions,
                                        
                                        Seek only the brave and the true,
                                        
                                        And stand by your friends when in trial,
                                        
                                        Ne’er changing the old for the new;
                                        
                                        And when by false friends you are tempted
                                        
                                        The taste of the wine cup to know,
                                        
                                        With firmness, with patience and kindness,
                                        
                                        Have courage, my boy, to say No!
