EMBLEME XI.
Try well thy friend before thou trust,
Lest he do leaue thee in the dust.
Ioin hands with none, nor make of him thy friend
Lest he do leaue thee in the dust.
Whom first thou hast not proued well and tride:
His faith may fleete and faile thee in the end,
Whose bad conditions were not first descryde.
Know well his life and manners ere thou lend
Or giue him trust, if trust in him abide:
For he that makes a friend of euery stranger,
Discards him not againe without some danger.
