In Oblitum.
I wondred much (as I had wondrous reason)Oblitus should, within so short a season,
Forsake, forget his old and ancient friend,
For whom he oft had vow'd his life to spend:
I was not altred much, but so was hee,
From low estate, to higher dignitie,
Yet knew I him; hath he forgotten me?
Preferment then hath spoyld his memorie:
He knowes me well; but he forgets himselfe.
