Epig. 211. To my worthy friend Iohn Poynes Esquire.

101

Now my hand's in, I may not leaue you out,
Sith in my hart you are among my friends;
And, as you go that little Globe about,
Take what you like, and leaue what you offends:
That small-great World hath frailty great and small:
But take your like, and then it's none at all.
