Epigram 21. A keeper of honesty.
Deliro
should of honesty be full,
And store of wisedome surely is within him.
What though he dally with a painted Trull,
And shee to folly daily seemes to win him?
Yet in him sure is honesty good store,
He vtters but his knauerie with a whore.
And store of wisedome surely is within him.
What though he dally with a painted Trull,
And shee to folly daily seemes to win him?
Yet in him sure is honesty good store,
He vtters but his knauerie with a whore.
For he that spends too free, shall surely want,
Whilst he that spares, will liue in wealthy state:
So wit and honesty, with such are scant,
Who part with it at euery idle rate:
But men must needes haue honesty and wit,
That like Deliro neuer vtter it.
Whilst he that spares, will liue in wealthy state:
