Epigr. 5. in Philonem.

Philo , you loue a while vnfainedly.
But when with wrath enraged is your vaine,
Then you reueale what euer secretly,

134

The bosome of our friendship did containe.
Loue Captaynes Philo and Italians:
Fencers, souldiers and the gallant crewe.
And hauing tam'de your friendship by their hande,
Bring it to me and I will honour you.
Or if ye dare not loue to suffer wrong,
Then loue me Philo, but without a tongue.
