20 Fratres in Malo.

Th'Ambitious alwaies doth aloft aspite;
Honour on Honour striving still to heap:
The Avaritious sloopeth his Desire,
From vnder ground his Golden Crop to reap.
Th'One tendeth vpward, th'Other downward tends;
As if at Ods, and vtterly Contrary:
Yet, though they seem, indeed they doo not vary;
But mean to meet together in their Ends.
