89 Of lending our Priuy-seales.
A friend of mine, to me made mickle mone
About some moneyes lending in the lone;
Alleaging, that to lend, were little griefe,
If of repayment men haue firme beleefe.
But other mens examples make vs dread,
To speed as some in other times haue sped.
For if one faile, who then will care for vs?
Now I, to comfort them, replyed thus,
While God preserues the Prince, ne're be dismayd.
But, if she faile, be sure we shall be payd.
