The Arbor of Amitie | ||
To one who after death woulde leaue his liuelie picture.
To leaue behinde a picture fine to see,It may small time well stande in steede for thee.
But picture faire of noble actes of minde,
That farre excelles to learne to leaue behinde.
Which will maintaine a noble name for aye,
As Tullis tongue and Cæsars acts can saye.
As Chauser shewes and eke our morall Gowre
With thousands more, whose fame shal stil endure.
