Epig. 140. Nosce teipsum.
Who knovveth not himselfe knovves not his friend:Who friends forget, themselues too much forget:
But Luscus hauing no friend that vvill lend;
And, being ore the Eares (poore knaue) in debt,
No Maruell though he all forgets, saue those,
That minde him still for money that he owes.
