Epigram. 29. In Caium: Dantur opes nulla nunc nisi diuitibus.

When Caius needed no mans amitie,
He might haue beene beholding vnto many:
But when he sought in his calamitie,
He could not be beholding vnto any.
Then eu'ry man his kindnesse gen recall,

His friends forgat they euer knew the man,
His kinsfolkes were to him no kin at all;
All scorn'd their quondam kind companion.
A common case, and true it is we see,
With seeming friends, how we shalbe attended,
The whilst our state stands happy, who but wee?
O how the fortunate shalbe befriended!
But when foule fortune throws vs to the ground,
Lo then they seeke occasion to be gone:
To beate that dog a staffe is quickely found,
Hang him (say they) we n'er knew such a one.
Riches are onely giuen to the rich,
And he that's downe, shal still lie in the ditch.
